The best answer is not always on the fit chart hanging in your LBS. Sometimes you need to look at dynamics, power production, etc...but never look at another riders bike for answers to your fit concerns.
I wasn't looking for answers to fit my concerns, I was wondering why pro riders like Andy perhaps, or some riders here size down. I know it was mentioned that racers over the years have continued to go with smaller bikes than what would normally be their standard size
