I cannot IMAGINE why a 52 is even THOUGHT of. The chart you linked is 'old school' thinking, not something I'd even consider.
Naw, his geometry isn't unique; in fact, it's pretty close to what LeMond road bikes were using a decade ago (before Greg's troubles with Trek brought the brand to an untimely end).
Thanks for all the feedback DX Man, here's a quote from another thread regarding these bikes, I wanted to get your thoughts on it: "
They measure the seat tube c-c, so similar to the Kilo TT, you need to add 3cm for a c-t sizing. The 49cm is more like a 52cm, and so on.

Does that mean the 55 is more like a 58cm size?
