I am concerned that this bike is going to be too small for my stature. If any of you have experience with sizing or have some words of wisdom to share with me I'm all ears to hear some opinions.
No, I don't think it's too small.

I'm a 5'9'' and ride a 51cm Cervelo RS, which is a tiny bit bigger (except for the stack, which is 16 mm larger).
