Which feels like a 52.

I rode a friends 54 over christmas break and the standover was snugger than any 56 that I've ridden.
Very nice frame. I'm sure they would sell more of 'em if customers could get some accurate measurements. Its not like you walk into your LBS and they have 5 of 'em built out in various sizes that you can test ride.
