I ride a bike with TT of 53cm, and when I put drops, I had to put the shortest stem possible to feel comfortable on the bike. inseam rule tells me I should ride 50cm seat tube, even if I tried a bit bigger without major differences. I reckon the size is not the only factor, headtube angle, morphology and personal preferences are important too. but ofc, it wouldnt be 'impossible' for me to ride a 52x52 OTP if I ever found the bargain dreamt-about one. but that is another story :)
