A friend of mine is getting ready to pull the trigger on a CAAD 8CX but
he's not sure of the sizing- he is 5 feet, 10 inches
the LBS is telling him that a 54cm is what he needs. coincidentally
this is the only size they have in stock in the shop. i told jim i thought it
might be a little small and a 56 cm would be more appropriate
he mentioned this to the shop and was told that cross bike frames
run larger than road bikes?
