I'm appreciative of the responses and recommendations. Still uncertain which size to go with though. Makes the issue more difficult due to the fact that I'm able to find & ride a 58cm but no one has the 60cm in stock to where I can compare/contrast. LBS still says without a doubt that the 58cm is what I need based on all factors involved, and another shop 3 hours away says without a doubt I need a 60cm based on all factors involved. I'm not buying a road bike to race it or stress over my avg. speed when I ride or anything like that, but I of course am trying to get into whatever size bike frame is the most comfortable and "best" fit for me for long-term use.
