Bike sizing

Hey guys,

My little brother wants to get into cycling. Coincidentally, one of the shops in town is moving and is practically giving bikes away today. Only problem is that he lives in VA, so obviously a normal trip to the LBS to get fit is out of the question (I'd much rather save the $1000 and get the bike here and bring it back with me next week after finals). The shop carries Cannondale, Felt, and Scott, and my brother is 5'10" w/ 33 in. inseam (nice, long legs like his big brother....maybe he'll be a time trialist, too). So what size do I get for him? I was thinking 56, but I didn't know if any of those brands ran big and he'd need a 54. (My TT bike is a Scott and I know that they run big, but not sure about the road bikes). I know that they'll tell me at the store, but having second (and third?) opinions would make me feel better.
