have you analyzed whats wrong with what you ride already? 59 from 61 It's only 2 cm smaller .
and the Current race posture is low on the front . so why not go with the shop suggestion where they saw you .
did you ride one, there?
I used to match the top tubes on my bikes , which are decidedly un racer style by todays standards,
sloping top tubes just require more seat post out if the seat tube is shorter.
I am familiar for most brands. The colnago geometry is a little difficult to understand as the sloping tube can make the bike feel 2-3cm bigger. In the case of my current bike,I ride a 61 frame but it is a 59.5 in actuality. most bikes the 59 or 60 is fine. because I can't find a lbs that has my size in stock in colnago, I am left with geometry. This one has me struggling Because as you mentioned the cost is up there.
