The 46cm has the same length top tube as your current frame, but a shorter head tube, so it could wind up feeling more aggressive. Your bike seems to have a pretty low front end as is, so you might want to try bringing it up a bit if you want more comfort on longer rides. Not a bike fit expert by any means, but that's my two cents.
Right on. I just threw a couple more spacers under my stem and moved my seat back a tad as my ride felt a bit excessively cramped and "leggy" yesterday. With the front end raised a little, I should now be able to spend more time in my drops too. Thanks for the help.
