I've currently got a 58cm Trek Madone 3.5 CH2 2013 bike. When I got it last year the steerer tube had been cut really short and it gave me back pain. Extending the steerer tube by 60mm and shortening the stem by 10mm and flipping it make a good difference and it felt fairly comfortable to ride.
I'm now looking to get a Domane SL5 and have seen a decent used one which is 56cm. I can't go and see it as it is too far. Looking at the trek website I "should" be 58cm but my past experience with the Madone 58cm wasn't an ideal fit. Obviously the bikes are a different type though.
I'm 6ft / 184cm with a leg length of 34"
Any advice on size difference between these two bikes or advice on what others with a similar height / LL as me have found fits them?
I have found this comparison website also although I'm no expert to compare the geometry. Many thanks again for any advice
