Hi there
I’ve made a few postings about getting my first road bike Anyway, I have narrowed it down to this bike:

I have put down a deposit and ordered this in a small frame size. The bike shop I went to in Glasgow has said that a small frame with this bike would be the correct size.
I’m a bit confused because, according to the chart, a small size frame on this bike is only 46.5cm – see below:

On other road bikes I have tried for size, it has been a 51cm but I was told that this particular bike has different geometry and that a small (46.5cm) size is correct. I do know that different manufacturers size their bikes differently (cm, inches, S, M, etc).
I’m 5’6 with a 29 in inside leg if that helps.
