If you've owned or ridden a 52 or 55 frame, mind sharing your height and inseam measurements? Can't find a local to try, and I'm interested in your experience. Thanks!

I’m 5’7 and I ride a 55 frame. I don’t know my inseam but I recommend going a size up for some reason they seem to run small.
I’m 5’9” with a 31” inseam on a 55
Same.
5’10, 32’ inseam on a 55
5’8 on a 55…I feel like my legs are short and I think I’d be more comfortable on a 52 But, not enough to exchange it.
I have a 52 on order but a little worried I should've went with the 50. I'm 5'4" with a 29 inch inseam. I guess we'll see if the magic happens on my first few rides...
how tall are you and what's your inseam?
The answer to your questions is literally right above your questions...
derp sorry lol dunno why when I saw it earlier I swore it only said that you ordered it :P
What size State do you ride?
I'm 5'8.75"
having trouble measuring my inseam, but it goes betwen 29.5-31" depending on how I measure.
I've been riding a 49mm v1 black label for a few years, love it, but feel like I need to size up perhaps
I'm 5'4" with a 28-29 inseam and the top tube is right there but not right there if you know what I mean... Did you pull the trigger on a size 52 yet? I'm gonna put a 700x32 tire on my back wheel to smooth out the stiffness. I've also been riding at 90 psi front and back and that's been helpful.
I didn't pull on the 52, I think now that I think about it the 49 is probably good as actually when I step down the top tube isn't riding in to my crotch but just about to touch, so any bigger that would be not as comfy.
I did a quick fit with a mirror by looking at my leg position at the bottom and 90/90 and actually it seems fine and the seat post isn't even that high.
Finally, I don't feel cramped in the upper at all. I think what I need is actually new handlebars, and booked a bike shop for an installattion from pista (which were dropped too low and not enough real estate up top) to a regular drop, which will allow me to ride on top longer and in the drops, it'll be less low.
I've been riding 80-120 and I don't find too much of a difference because on bumps I ride up onto the pedals and off the seat regardless.
My main problem is my hands don't have enough space on the bars with the brakes, and I can probably put up my seat a couple mm.
The 32" tire didn't fit in the back, maybe I need more slack in the chain or something... Gonna try a 28 instead. What does that mean you've been riding 80-120? Is that km's or minutes?
oh just the PSI of the tires
I never ride super long.
I've been doing some research on youtube about fitting, most people say the height gudance for bike size is usually way too big.
Most people are better on much smaller frames.
I’m 5’ 8” with 30” inseam on a 52
how does it fit, and how much rise do you have on your seat post? Would you mind posting a pic of it?
I'm just about the same measurements and I'm riding a v1 at 49mm and it's a bit small I think
