Hi,
I'm on the verge of buying a new Specialized Allez as an N+1 (or 2 or 3). Looking for some sizing advice as there aren't any Specialized dealers nearby.
I'm 5'11", which would suggest that I should go for the 56cm frame, but have relatively short legs for my heigh, at around 31.5"
Looking a the bike specs, the standover height would suggest I'd be better with the 54cm frame, but will this feel cramped? Would a 54cm frame with, if necessary, a longer stem seem like a sensible plan? If there are any similarly oddly-proportioned Allez owners, I'd really appreciate your input :-)
cheers.
