I'm considering Cannondale Supersix sizing. To replicate my current fit (which I am happy with) I can go with either of the following:
Option A:
Frame Size: 56
Stem: -6, 120mm (with 85mm reach handlebars), or 130mm (with 75mm reach handlebars).
Spacers: 15mm
Option B:
Frame Size: 58
Stem: -6, 120mm (with 75mm reach handlebars)
Spacers: None
If I go with the 58 I could also go to steeper stem and add some spacers beneath it.
I am currently on a 58 Caad10 with a -8, 120mm stem, 75mm reach bars, and 10mm of spacers, but the geometry of the Supersix has changed a bit from my bike. I'm tempted to go with the size 56 so I can get lower more easily if my flexibility improves (I haven't been riding seriously for the last year), and because of the old advice to always go with the smaller size frame if possible. Between Option A and Option B above, will I even notice a difference in handling?
Thanks,
Ben
