Yeah, I had the 56cm ordered first, but it was Paul Michel's (among others) testimony that the frames were huge, that made me reconsider. But then I reconsidered again, and I'm glad I did!
Just went out for a ride on it, nearly chucked myself over the bars a few times due to not being used to fixed. I got used to it quicker than I expected to though. The hardest bit for me is when you are out of the saddle, stamping the pedals, my initial reaction afterwards is to freewheel. But obviously I can't. Made for some hairy moments at first!
