Talk about this sizing thing. My LBS was telling me to get one size LARGER. I currently ride a 54cm Specialized Roubaix and they have Langsters in both 54cm and 56cm. I thought I was golden as the 54 is an 05 and they would let it go for a song but then one of the guys I actually trust at this shop told me it would probably be too small. His reasoning was that the larger bike would get me in a better position to deal with the high cadances that you get on a fixie...more room for the thighs to not hit the chest (or belly) and more room for extra clothes (thinking of going fixie for the winter slop less main factor).

Thoughts?

Also my LBS does Giant, Specialized and Cannondale...so my picks from them are the Bowery, Langster and the Capo. The C'Dale is more than I want to spend and the word on the Bowery is that the frame looks like crap (really cheap welds even by Giant's standards)...which leave the Langster. I was also thinking IRO since they are only like 60 min down the road I can pick it up...but the cost will be like $100-$175 more than the Langster.
