I am beginning to think that a bike one size too large is not a good thing.
This year I moved from a 56 to a 54 and don't regret it a bit. While my seat is back a bit more, I feel I have more control over the bike, ride in the drops more comfortably, and am able to spin better.... all good things in my view. My sons (the smart a$$es they are) were quick to point out that I best remember that I'll continue to get shorter as I age.
