I was fitted for a 56 back in the mid-90s. It proved too small. I never got comfortable on that bike. Jump ahead a few years and I'm settled in at 58 cm. I was happy there, through several bikes. Then my grail at the time came along, at 62 cm. I bought it and made it work. Every bike I've bought since has been 60 cm, or 24 ", which is sometimes 61. I don't plan on buying any more. I still have that grail bike, a '92 Panasonic built Paramount, and a couple 24" Treks. A 59 cm top tube is too long; 58 is ok. I'm 182 cm tall.
