Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

45.5 sloping works as 48 classical?

When I look at some of Italian road bikes, sometimes I find sizes start with 45.5 sloping TT, and jump to 50 horizontal TT, and then 1 cm increment....
I need 48! Does 45.5 sloping work as classical 48?
I was looking at Opera, Pinarello, and Colgnago.
Thanks.

Every manufacturer does it slightly differently. Check their geometry charts online for virtual numbers, call/email their dealer/distributor for the numbers if you can't find them online.
