It felt pretty good too. I only did a few circles around the store so I really couldn't tell which size I needed. A young girl waited on my and said I looked a bit cramped on the 54. I think she thought the 56 was a better fit, but I left unconvinced and a little disapointed that they no longer had the Felt Z35 I had been eyeing in either size.

Last night I went on Competiviecyclist.com and had my girlfriend measure me. Below are my measurements. What are you recommendations besides go back to the shop and ride more bikes? Is the output below telling me I'm a 54 or a 56?
