How true. I am 6ft2 and ride a 51cm 3Rensho tandem I couldn't pass up. It has a 10cm head tube! It is a good thing they make Technomic stems and 400mm seatposts. Actually, the sizing of the Ron Cooper (which is a 57cm c-c) is something I strive for when setting up other like machines. It is fun to ride fast. I just finished building up a 58cm Fiorelli (picked up at Copake), this time with 46cm bars. Hey, if it is cheap, I'll consider just about any bike. The ones that fall below 52cm, and there are some nice ones out there, go to my wife.
