After a lot of looking I found one. When I got there it turned out it was a 54cm model, and for some stupid reason I got it anyway. If I'd known it was a 54 before hand I wouldn't have even considered it.

Can I make this work? Or should I honestly just sell it straight away and keep looking for the 56cm model?

Thanks

I'm 50 years young, 5'10, 165lbs and just rode my first century on a 56 cm CAAD 10. I couldn't imagine trying to make a smaller frame work. For one thing, my gut would get in the way.

IME, I would sell the 54 and buy a 56.
