Had to quit buying 58-61 unless a great deal and something special.

Also came to find out that the more I rode the big ones, the more I needed them as my body and bones stretched out to fill them up and ride much better, it was quite a revelation.
Bones stretched out is a good way to put it. I have a good stretch on my Raleigh Sports and Super Course, and they just feel right to me compared to the Trek.
