Funny world.] After some tweaks and adjustments, it fits fine, although it looks somewhat aesthetically unpleasing. Rides fabulous, but pretty much resigned to a 80mm stem [which I'm used to.] and maybe getting a Compact handlebar. Alas, there is smidgen of seatpost showing albeit with adequate saddle to handlebar drop.
Well, folks. Grin and deal with it? It's not that big of an issue, but I'm a very neurotic type when it comes to sizing.
Anyway, the frame is amazing. Super stiff, you want to go, and it follows suit. Awesome stuff, the CAAD9.
If it's too small for you, you were fitted wrong. That is the LBS's responsibility.
I wouldn't settle for it. Get your proper size. It's not only the right thing for them to do,
but your physical conditioning depends on it. You shouldn't have to concede to the bike.
It should fit you.
