Answered in the post right above yours. Distance from top of saddle to the seat post clamp is around 18cm. My exact inseam is 34.125", so you'll probably be 1cm lower.

Oops dur, sorry my bad didn't see!
Thanks that helps. 765 is exactly what I'm at too - recently confirmed by a fitter and various trial and error over the years.

I don't need any help. I perform fittings and was joking. Lance is shorter than you and rides 2 bike sizes larger. Vast majority of riders with your height and inseam would be on a 56 and the OP would be a 58. I am the OP's size. Yes, you must be gumby to be comfortable on a 54cm CAAD12 but you are also riding cramped even with 120mm stem. Frame size isn't just about head tube height establishing drop but top tube length as well. For a taller rider like yourself who is comfortable with the drop of a 54, your effective torso length becomes longer because you are riding more slammed and why a 56 is going to be a 'generally' better target size.
What matters is you are happy with the frame size you have chosen. All that matters.
Cheers.

As far as my set-up is concerned, I ride an H1 Emonda so it is longer/lower than a CAAD12 by a good margin. 390/526mm vs 387/551mm, same head angle. Using a bit of ****math, this means my Emonda is 10mm longer with the same 110mm -6deg stem.

This is why suggesting a frame size on the internet is really a flawed practice. Flexibility range is easily worth a frame size or more....or whether an endurance versus race geometry is preferred.

CAAD12 runs a bit taller than my CAAD9. At 5'6", I ride a 52cm CAAD9. I think I would probably have to go with a 50 on the CAAD12.
