I was set on a Pake and I thought the 53cm might be a bit too big. I figured it'd be easier to make a bike slightly too small fit than a bike that's too big. It feels fine though. Like I said, 35 miles and I woke up the next morning feeling like a million bucks...

Hmm.. hopefully I didn't blow it..........
My son's 5'7". We found a 51 or 52cm Bianchi for him, added some Profile wing-style bullhorns, and a 120mm OS (31.8) stem. It worked out great. It even feels good to me, at 5'10". Anyway, you might want to try a longer stem. You can pick them up pretty cheap.

I really like the look of your bullhorns. Who makes 'em?
