Colbago Master sizing

[Smokva]

Hi! I have a chance of getting an Colnago Master frame very cheap. The problem is that the frame is
59cm, and I'm afraid it could be be too small. I'm 188cm with inseam of 91cm....anyone knows will I
be able to make this frame comfortable for riding with some longer stem and seatpost.. Been doing
some calculating and think that Colnago 62cm would be perfect choice for me....but I might be wrong.

whats so special about the colnago master that you need to squeeze into a smaller size just to be
able to ride one?

I think it's too small but not impossible to ride.

That sounds like a better choice.

A frame that is too small for you is not cheap, it is a very expensive item.

I'm 182cm and would ride a 59cm Colnago...

Don't like to size with inseam but think this is way too small...
