Its not so big that you can't ride it and ride it well but your asking how to make it fit better or perfectly even so near enough isn't good enough.

Now the not so good news is that if I am right and you are a little too small for the bike then its not actually the easiest thing in the world to get a smaller bike that fits.

Anyway, how tall are you and what's your actual inseam (floor to crotch standing is socks)?

We can start by ruling some things in or out.

I almost hate to tell you this, but the video may be a little deceiving: I'm around 5'10"-5'11", and the frame is a 56cm. The cranks are 175's. I do often wonder if I could fit a 54, though...
