I decided to buy a Windsor Wellington 3.0: Save Up to 60% Off Road Bikes - Windsor Wellington 3.0 Web Sale Prices
Geometry sizing chart: WINDSOR WELLINGTON ALUMINUM FRAME GEOMETRY FOR ROAD BIKES
I need help with choosing what size I should get. I'm about 5"8 1/2 barefoot and have an inseam of 32 inches. According to my calculations a frame around 54cm would fit. However, the problem with this bike is that it doesn't offer a 54cm frame; there's 53cm or 56cm.
I'm thinking that I should go ahead and get the 56cm because it's better to have a bike that is a little too big (you could probably tweak it to fit you) than one that's too small.
Should I go ahead and get the 56cm one?
Thanks.

Compact frames have become popular because they shorten effective top tube length and make it easier to fit more riders to a proportionately-sized bike than a traditional frame bike.
So you would ride a smaller size bike than you normally do but it fits like a glove and is safer and more comfortable to ride.
