That was the option I have if I decide to keep my current bike and just ride it as is knowing it's out of adjustment. However I don't want to go that route so that's why I'm looking to just find a better fitting frame. The info I was given showed a 55cm frame would be the sweet spot, but I can't find too many frames in 55cm and only a few in 54 so I'm considering 56 simply because it's more common. He said I can go either 56 or 54 and adjust accordingly. I will post my measurements for review once I get an e-mail from the fitter for more advice.
