56cm.
I'm a wee bit taller (181cm), with a slightly longer back relative to legs, and 56 is spot on (110mm stem IIRC, with a Nitto B125AA bar), used on track.
I have 54cm Track Champ that's used for hill climbs and fair weather commuting, running a 130mm stem, but it feels is too twitchy on a flat road due to stem length and (stock Alpina Track 30mm) fork rake.
Debating a Pre-Cursa purchase soon. Need a little sizing advice.
I'm 5'11" which is right between sizes 56 and 58. Pretty sure my current frame is a 56.
Is it advisable to go up or down when between sizes on this frame?
On current frame my saddle is pretty high and set quite far forward as I've got long-ish legs. Stem is 100mm (from memory) and I've got 1 spacer in my stack. The drop feels a little far at times.
My feeling is that a 58 would help solve this as the drop from saddle to bars would be less BUT Top Tube length is then longer...
Anyone have any advice? Size up, or size down?
Thanks!
