@cc700 hey im thinking about getting a 54cm saeco r4000 but the thing that makes me hesitant is the long-ish seat tube. yours is a 52 right? how does the bike fit you?

presuming your talkin 2 me
im 5'6 an i probaly should hav a bigger bike but i realy lov the time, and i dont realy think the seat height effects the ride at all, yes 52 and ive realy never had the chance to compare any other bikes but the previous bike i had was a Avanti Sprint W sora 8 Speed lol and as you can imagine this is a seriously big step up. On the seat post it has a line for maximum insertion and the clamp is only about 10cm below that line
hope this helps

the 52 fits big, like a 53 or so. now that i have some more height on the steerer tube i love it.
two of my three bikes are long, and i like them that way.

if you wanted to look fancy, you should have cropped out the cockpit of the driveside shot and claimed it was an ultegra triple.

old cdales also tend to be tall in the larger sizes. meaning:
my 90 crit is 60cm st with 56.5cm tt
my old 91 road was a 60cm as well but the tt was almost 58cm

thats a pretty serious spacer stack. a sloping top tube would be better.
