Im 5'8" on a 56cm square frame (c-c)
Its comfortable after a lot of tweaking but I can still always feel that its the wrong size. Handlebars are too low and front wheel to far in front.
I think I need 58cm seat tube and 54cm top tube, but Ive never seen that combo before anywhere.
Of course size is imprtant, but youll feel it less in an upright position on risers etc. On a normal road bike the hoods is the standard hand position, if your frame is too long its gonna feel shit.
