Granted Im looking at you on the bike CDR Im guessing your around 5'6'', 5'7''

I think I should have no problem on this thing but it now looks bigger then a 57 to me
I'm 5'7" but I have short legs. I used to ride a size S Giant or a size 52 Cannondale. My Tsunamis are modeled after a size S Giant (aluminum TCR), Cannondale's somewhat standard (for a reason) head tube and fork rake, but with a longer front end. If it's really a 57 you're probably going to fit, at least in terms of saddle height.

Because various things can make a frame look big or small I can't guess what that frame is. For example if the BB is higher than normal then the head tube will be longer than normal. My 51 track frame looks like a 53 or 54 at first glance.
