Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's still a new bike, so I'm still in the process of dialing everything in. The saddle is higher than in the picture and the stem is 5mm lower (I dropped a spacer).

Cervelo RS Giro D'Italia Edition. Took this photo right before a proper 60 mile break in ride. Absolutely love it. Now it just needs some deeper wheels

Yup, the sexy size! 54cm. Seems like most frames look best at 54-56cm. Anything over that things can look a bit off. In the end its just aesthetics and you should still ride what fits

But seriously, I have a difficult time discerning if the bike is just a small frame or sloping top tube makes it look small. I estimate a 54 or 56

What you really mean is: If you aren't between 5'6", and 6' you should shoot yourself, and hope you are reincarnated to a proper sized. Human so you can ride a proper looking bike. All kidding aside, I agree 54-56cm always seems to look best. Except for the S5, where 56cm looks horrid, and it only gets worse beyond that. As much as I hate white, and pink, your bike is stunning irregardless.
