Remember 2 bikes from different companies may fit differently even though they are listed as the same size. Top tube length, for example, may be different on 2 bikes called "58". Also, lots of so called "compact" frames (sloping top tube) are sold as small, medium, large, etc. to further confuse the fit thing. Look at all of the numbers, not just the listed (seat tube) size.
