Yeah, I guess I'm more afraid of having a bike that's too big, that I can't make smaller, than having a bike that's perhaps a slight bit too small, that with a bit of stem, post and some spacers I can make a bit bigger.
Despite my "correct" size always having been 56 I've always gone for a 54. Just always seems right and never had any trouble. We'll see - Evans have a 30 day no quibble returns/swap policy anyway, so I will probably be able to sort out a larger size should the 54 actually be "too small" although all the measurements point to 10 - 20mm spacers sorting the slightly shorter head tube.
Good to know the technicalities behind my (wrong) presumptions!
