Hi. I've found an used Dolan Pre Cursa, frame size: 56cm, for sale "nearby"(it would still be a day trip from my place). I'm planning to use it as an everyday city bike. I have never ridden a road/track bike before, so i'm a little unsure about the right frame size.
I'm 5ft 11 inch (180cm) so according to the information on Dolan's website the frame should fit me well. However, my inseam (about 30 inch, ~76cm) seems shorter than usual for my height. The omnicalculator frame size calculator says I need more likely a 51cm frame. I'm a bit confused, because the Dolan website says the 52cm frame size fits people with max. 167cm height.
Should I look for a 50 or 52cm frame instead? I would hate to drive that far only to find that the 56cm frame is way too big for me.
