Okay, I need an N+1 opinion ...

Current bikes:
- Lemond Sarthe ("53"cm, 100mm stem) - http://2006.lemondbikes.com/images/2...croixdefer.gif
- Pake ("55"cm, 90mm stem) - http://www.pakebikes.com/pakespecs.html

Next bike:
- EAI Bareknuckle ("52"/"54"cm) - http://www.thebikebiz.com/ProductDet...1&Show=ExtInfo

So I'm thinking I probably want to go w/ the "52"cm (54cm top tube) due to the fact that the reach will be a bit long w/ the other size. Since the stem will have a negative rise that'll lengthen the effective reach. This is just me making assumptions though, so anyone out there w/ some track bike fitting experience please chime in. I'm having some trouble compensating for the steep angles and the more forward position.

Edit: yes, this is devoid of any useful body measurement information. I guess I'm trying to get an answer based on theory.
