Current ride is 57.5 - 57.5 CTC on seat and top tube, running with a 80mm stem but would run shorter, have played with a quill adapter for shorter stems.
Dolan 58 is larger than what i have, not by much, i don't want larger.
Dolan 56 has a smaller headtube, and 10mm shorter top tube than current ride.
From reading through the thread, the trend is to downsize a size.
I reckon a 56 as i can run shorter stems and will most likely be using risers, if i do use drops it will be with CX levers as i will rarely use the drops, they would be nice and narrow and something to hang the bike with at work though.
Will decide by mid week, looks like bits from 3 places and around £300 spend :) the rrp of a Steamroller at £350 was top budget for everything.
