Medium sized bikes lik 55cm do not go fast because of size, they go fast when priced low. Have to be willing to either pay full market, or pounce quick. That's the C/L game.
Train your eye to judge bike size rather than search by size. Most sellers are clueless about bike size, and usually get it wrong, often way wrong.
