Just had to do it.
Took awhile but I finally managed to take one for a test ride. The 54 was nice but the seat post was a tad short. I could have tried a longer post but opted for the 56 instead. Being 5'9" I was between sizes. The 56 seems a bit large but not bad yet the 54 seat post a bit short so I opted to go larger. Hope I made the right decision. Went with the SL5 in rage red, quite a stunning look with the black top tube. The bike definitely takes the edge off of rougher pavement. Just ordered new pedals, computer and a few other tid bits to accessorize.Just wanted to update you all and to let you know where this thread ended for myself and to thank you all for your input. Thanks again for all the help
