Hi I'm new here, Been lurking for a while but this is my first post. I'm looking to move from a commuter to a road bike and have been looking at the 2011 Specialized Allez. I have ridden both a 54 and a 56 but only for rides around the block and I cant tell much difference. I went to Competitive cyclist and used their fit calculator after seeing it recommended here. I got the information but I'm unsure how to use it. The measurements are in cm's.
Based on what I see I'm Dead in between the two but i don't know if I'm using the information correctly.
