size is tricky since i am coming from the compact geometry of Giant to the more traditional geometry of the CAAD9. initially i was looking at the wrong geometry for my 2006. they got a little bigger in 2007, or maybe 2008, when they introduced the M/L size. digging up the old Giant geometry came with mixed re*****. i blame Google. anyway, an actual tape measure seems to confirm i will be fine on the 60cm. strecthed out, no seatpost, no spacer kind of fine.

crank based power means more PSIMET wheelsets so i highly recommend it. for me it means carbon tubulars. feel free to quote my wife when discussing the purchase with your significant other. later.
