Well I did say that but it is also a bike brad issue as each brand has it's own geometry quirks. A 56cm Trek 2X00 or 5x00 or Madone doesn't fit me and there is no way I should be on a 58cm. A 56cm Cannondale RX000 or Six13 is too long in the top tube for me, I need a 55 or 54. So the brand does play a roll and that was my point...I wanted a Trek but after trying some they just didn't fit right so I didn't get one. At the time I didn't ride any C'Dales so I didn't get one of those either. The OP has to go ride the bikes and see what fits his/her body best and which one he likes the ride of.
