Help- Kestrel 500SCi
I have an opportunity to get a Kestrel 500SCi road bike in a tri-set up mode for a pretty good price. The frame is a 1999 but is carbon fibre and is brand new. The set up is all durace. The only question i have is that thte frame is a large and I am 5'10", and 165 lbs and ride a 56 cm Trek. I have test rode the Kestrel and it is fantastically smooth but is it to large for my size? The measurements I have from the web are Seat Tuibe 57cm, Tob Tube 57.5. My trek is only 1 cm small and is also set up with aero bars.
Does anyone have any recommendations. Is the bike worth buying?
Thanks,
Ian

Does it feel too big? If it does, then probably it is! Just for reference, I'm 5'8" and ride a 52cm kestrel Talon (also in full tri setup).
