Sure, could you post a pic here?
I will set it up when bike arrives and will see if the saddle height will be enough. I´m going to remove all the spacers from the steerer except dust cap.
If it won´t fit I still can change the bike for 54 size, although it looks way too small from pics.

This was set at 760mm in this pic (so deduct 2cm to attain your height):
You won't want a 54 IMO.

Thanks a lot ryan! Your setup looks pretty good, hope 2cm won´t make a big difference.
My bike arrived so I had a chance to make som pics. I didn´t want to cut the seatpost yet, so I attached it on the frame with paper tape at 740mm height. I left 5mm spacer under the stem, so there is a little space to lower the stem further.
So what do you guys think? Saddle to bar drop is ok, or size 54 would be better?
Stack is 565 vs 542mm. Cannot find the seattube lenght of the 54, but 56 on my pics has 515mm seattube.

Saddle-handlebar drop on my TCR is about 8-9cm, but not sure it will be enough on aero bike like S5.
They're bonded in on assembly. Some folks have been lucky enough to get in before the build and ask the store to leave it out.
Originally used due to the use of a star nut. I never removed mine due to fear of damaging the steerer.

Yes, the star nut was inserted before I cut the steerer. Anyway it looks quite stupid to me on the high end bike.
Not sure if metal insert + star nut is safer solution than bare carbon steerer + expander. I´ll leave it like it is and use expander anyway...if it is bonded I won´t play with it, not worth it.
