The Dawes up there is a 52cm ctc, which is what I have and is too small for me... I am now after a 54cm ctc.
In old money, I could probably get away with a 21" (53.4cm) or a 21.5" (54.6cm) without too many problems, but 22" (55.9) will be too big for me.
It's about getting the cockpit higher in relation to the saddle without having a silly amount of stem showing.
Rather than just getting a taller stem, etc (which would obviously be easier), I have decided to get a frame that actually fits, and that will look nicer when it's built up.
