I'm very tempted to jump on this... Only problem is I live in Seattle and I'm not sure it would be worth the drive. I'm fairly certain a 54 cm bike would fit me as I'm about 5' 10" Any words of wisdom would be appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance!
I wouldn't assume that. I ride a 55 with a 120mm -17 degree stem. If the top tube were shorter and I needed any rise in the stem I couldn't buy one long enough. It really depends on how much of your height is in your legs and torso.
