I'm looking at getting a Scott CR1 pro, walked into the bike shop as I could get finance from them but the shop was not my first choice. Last years model and it's a good deal.

I asked for a medium frame I'm 175cm tall inside leg 75cm. They gave me a 56cm frame. It felt ok, but lets face it I only rode the bike for about 20mins.

Checking the Scott site the 56cm is a large frame. the 54cm is the medium, so basically they got that wrong. Everything I've read suggests a 54cm frame is what I should get for my hight, (that's with my bike shoes)

I'm an experianced cyclist, I have a LHT touring bike, Salsa Cyclocross bike as a commuter and a couple of MTB's. This is my frist Proper Road bike however.

I'm intending to do quite long distances and maybe a few races/events.

The guys in the shop stated they would do a bike fit and the larger frame would not be an issue.

Will it be an issue having a slightly bigger frame? I've not been filled with confidence so far wiith the way the guys have delt with me. This is a fair bit of money for me so I want to get it right.

I would really appreciate some advice.
