I usually ride a 56 or close to it, my Salsa Journeyman is a 55.5, my last road bike (years ago was a 56). My mountain bike is a size L (19.5" per Trek)

So here's the issue, State bicycles only offers the Core-line in 46, 50, 54 & 58.

According to there sizing chart people 5' 7" to 5' 11' are M (54cm)...and those 5' 11' to 6' 2" are L (58cm).....well I'm basically 6' (5' 11 15/16" according to the Doc.).

So...Technically the 54cm medium is too small, and the 58cm is too big....

Can anyone speak to the fitment of these bikes? Did you size up? Size down?

According to State if you are "between sizes, you should size down", well I'm not between sizes, I'm actually sized for the L, but the 58 just seems too big....Thoughts?

My gut is saying go 54cm and adjust to fit if needed.
i have a 54 fits well.
​​​​All my road bikes are 56.
i was surprised that 54 felt right.
i ride bullhorns.
