I know you all think I am on druge, but the shop puts me right in a 52. The 54 stretches me out more than I prefer. Like my sig says, I am an old fat man, I like a more upright position, I have really short legs, and I prefer a reasonable stand over height. The 52 is spot on using the Lemond formula (.67 x my inseam =51.06 CM) Ido appreciate the feedback

To my original question, I take it the frame, wheels, etc will hold up to me?
