I used the fit chart at Comp. Bikes. IIRC 34" inseam with short to avg. arms. I was debating getting the 57 which came with a 175mm crank instead of a 172.5. Bars seem a little low, but flipping the stem solved that. Still, this stupid thread... @#%@&#
How tall are you? How long are your arms and torso compared to legs? That makes a big diff too.
Modern bikes can have small seat tubes and longer top tubes. Your reach may make it comfortable for you at that frame size.
I feel that I can be a little less stretched out, hence the short quill stem. But I'd also like to try some bars that have less drop and less length to them which puts the hoods farther out. Soo many options!
