I forgot to ask...do you find the 63 a bit of a stretch?
I walked into the shop pretty much thinking I was a 63cm...but they were pretty certain that would have been way too big.
The BB to top of seatpost clamp measurement on my current hybrid is 590mm, the same measurement on the 60cm CAAD is 580mm and the 63cm has a 610mm tube.
Now considering I ride my current (hybrid) with a 400mm seat post fully extended I was sure I'd need the 63cm bike as the 60cm had a shorter tube...the LBS was saying you can't compare seat tube between road bikes and hybrids? But to me the seat tube height directly determines the saddle height...?
I didn't get it...
