I currently ride hybrids that are 20 and 21 inches ( too large a frame size for me according to LBS) and prefer the 21 inch because I feel less "cramped". Here is my question: the CAAD 9 that I'm considering is 58cm, and I'm wondering if it will be too big, even though I prefer a slightly larger frame than what my size calls for?
Thanks
I'm 6' and I just got a 56cm, 58 seemed too big.. Do you have a Cannondale dealer close by? It might make sense to stop on just to see if they have a 56 or 58cm bike you can sit on..
