And they have the 52 in stock.
But, is this the type bike you want. Seems to be a "race" geometry. Is this what you want? Compact crank? Nothing wrong with either, unless you're settling just because you think it's a good deal. If these are compromises, I'm sure there are other offerings (or will be) that are exactly what you're looking for. And there is NOTHING wrong with newer Tiagra!
