52 vs 54 Super Six Evo?

Hi,

I had a super six 54cm and I feeled good but I have a killer deal on new 52cm 2016 evo. But also deal on 54 2017

Im 5'10'' and 32.2 '' inseam, do you think I could be ok on it.

as i said, I ride 54 since 10 years (always cannondale)

at the same price I can have these 2 bikes.
the black is 2017- dura ace 2 (mechanical) with hollogram wheels in 54 (no quark powermeter)

the other one, the team 2016 on dura ace DI2 - in 52. this is my dilema

both the stem is low, even more o the 52, on mine, I keeped the 15mm conic spacer. with the 52 I would be 2cm lower at the front.

Buy both. Put the Di2 on the 54. Sell everything else when spring comes.

IMO the 52 is to small for you.

52 is too small.
54 might be too small as well.

Cannondales have a long reach so going a size down and correcting with a bigger stem should be enough. There are some things to consider. Would you have a problem adding some spacers to the 52? Or, alternatively, can you go bend down a bit? How is your flexibility? Also, what about the crank length (it is 170 at the 52).

You should definetely ride the 52 before you buy it. Also, could you post yours, so we can see your setup?
