Yeah, I really don't have room for a ThudBuster, and that is a good point to make. I am fine with that. I like the way mine is set up, and bought it knowing it would be like this. I do at time wonder what a 54 would feel like, but I then think of all the reasons I went with the 56, and I'm fine. The thing is just unbelievably stable for me, at any speed. I really love this bike.
