you're supposed to trust bike shops - which i did when i got my first road bike. the guy said "i'd go with the 58." did not say anything about how smaller frames and longer stems are preferable. so i got used to the 58/90mm....and i do love it. i'm just sick of people looking at me like i'm crazy for having that setup.
