Yeah it is usually the opposite scenario (I usually have a tough time finding my size). Sorry it was not more help. I guess Fuji must have had Cobo win the Vuelta in 2011 and then over-produced a bunch of Altamiras thinking they would sell a lot in 2012 and now they have a backlog of them in smaller sizes.

FWIW, I found that riding an 18.5lbs Aero Road Bike (Fuji Transonic 2.5 LE) only has me faster than the Altamira. The Transonic was a 2016 leftover from Peformance priced at $1,600 (though I put some Dura Ace C50 wheels on it, so that might be it too).
