Can you tell us what the old and the new frame are?
Actually the old frame (Cannondale six13) has a shorter headtube I believe than my new frame which is a 2012 Scott Foil.

Ah don't say that. I think I could have made either a 54 or a 56 work. With my short arms the 54 would probably be nice but I guess on the 56 I'll just have to get a 90mm stem and slam it
