We should start a PCLU.

I'd go with the 56. The frame is undersquare in a 54 and square in the 56, with a good TT length for your torso. It's also a cross bike and the larger opening will make it easier to carry.

YMMV.

Based on your readout, I would lean towards the size 56cm because of the recommended toptube length (Eddy Fit says 56.3 to 56.7). The size 56 frame has a 56cm effective toptube which seems close enough to fit by swapping out different length stems.

Are you looking online?
Thanks guys. I decided on the 56cm. Sent my old bike back and just ordered my new one. I just hope I'm happy with this one and I don't get the urge to trade it in again a month from now. Although it's easier to justify spending more money when it's only $300 more (with the trade-in value).
