Kelvin, intererested to hear you find a 52 short at 5'6"? All bike fit calculators ( generally 0.65 x inseam c-c or 0.67 for c-t )and guidelines seem to point to someone of my height (5'9") riding a frame with a 54cm top tube which to me has always been the most important fitment in a bike. The stem length/height, seat height/position can all be changed but the TT length cannot. The fact the 52 comes with that 54 TT suits as I prefer a smller bike with more standover and a few inches of post.
Thanks Hippy.
