I wear a 30" inseam and ride 55cm (C-T) traditional road frames, which I consider a perfect fit. With a modern low-profile (Serfas ARC) saddle, the bottom of the decorative fluting on my Campagnolo saddle is just barely covered by the top of the frame's seat cluster/clamp assembly, and I have just over a fistful of post showing. The bike looks right and feels right.
