I've been getting differing opinions from my two LBS. I'm 5'6" and one shop tells me a 52cm is
better, and the other says I need a 50cm. I currently ride a 52cm and my "jewels" touch the top tube
when I stand over the bike. Nobody has a 50cm in stock, so I haven't been able to stand over or ride
one yet. I have measured my inseam the best I can and from my pubic bone to my heel is 30.25 inches.
I've consulted a couple of online fit guides and have received results varying from a 48cm to a
55cm. Anybody my height and proportions have any advice on which way to go? I know the easy answer
is to find a 50cm to ride in the bike I want, but evidently 50cm bikes aren't big sellers, and the
LBS won't order one for me to try out......
