im most likely gonna jump on the bandwagon but im wondering if i should stay with 55 or go to 58
#1812
i'm just under 6'1" w/ a 33" inseam and if i put a yardstick in my armpit with my arm at my side, my middle finger is at 26".
my 725 is a 56 and feels just a bit cramped.
now my personal preference is to err on the large side and adjust saddle/stem if need be....

damn weird proportion bodies! im 5' 10" with a ~30" inseam and if i do the armpit-yardstick im at 25.5"
my current bike is a 55 and i could probably get another inch or 2 under my crotch, but its definitely cramped and i feel it in my back after a while of riding..
i wanna pull the trigger on this thing but 58 just sounds gigantic to me

For what it's worth, a 58cm 722TS measures 56cm c-c with a 57cm top tube. Here's the chart:

(All listed seat tube measurements on the chart are c-t but are typically 2cm less measured c-c)
