I had a fitting done in the 1990s and also a few years ago and was always recommended a 56cm bike. I am a little over 6 ft. tall with a 33.7 inch inseam and an average reach.

Now that I'm in my mid 40s I have found that I vastly prefer frames that are 58 and 59cm and I would probably feel fine on a 60cm bike. 58cm are definitely my sweet spot. I love the fact that you don't have to jack up the stem to get a correct fit and I also like the feeling of being "higher" on the bike. This may have something to do with the fact that I don't race anymore, but I get the feeling people are riding bikes that are generally too small and uncomfortable because "that's what the pros ride."

Thoughts?
