>>955575Thank you. I would be more confident if I compared the same model of different sizes, instead of the 54 being a caad 8. I would also be more confident if I knew what kind of posture I should actually be holding. I hear people use smaller bikes for more "aggressive" racing postures, but they get uncomfortable for longer rides. Since racing isn't something I'm remotely capable of, what I did probably does make sense. The mechanic that was helping me said that she adjusted the seat on the 52 to be about the same as the 54, so that the frame was supposed to be the only thing that's different. I guess I'll go back there today and talk to them about it, that should help me sleep at night for the next week.
Will post pics of the bike once I have it. Thanks yall
