Sizing down will give you less reach but you'll also get lower stack height and more bar drop from saddle height. So a concern will be that stock seat posts might be too short to extend to your proper saddle height and stems might not raise high enough.
Do you think a 36" inseam correlates to that saddle height? I do have 172mm cranks.
That?
Your saddle height you gave or the saddle height range I gave?
