Yeah they seem to be sized small, based upon recommendations. If you go to the tech specs for the individual framesets you can see the actual dimensions. All I pay attention to in a frame anymore is HT and (effective) TT length. I could get away w a 52 or 55 w the Wabi Classic - I'm a bit of an in-betweener.

Ahh I hear ya, but I ride enough to make a Wabi Classic worth it . At $400 for the frameset it's right at my price point for a bike with this intended application. If I'm gonna hustle it up and down the road I'd like it to be at least a little nice
