I am looking at buying one.... I know you will probably say go and testride, (which I will)

But I am 5ft 9
Inside leg 32"

Unsure weather to go for 54" or 56".

If you have a madone 09, and are around this size please state height and bike size......
And any comment

thanks

    I haven't got one, but having studied the geometry if I was you (assuming you are pretty average for you 5"9 ad 32") I'd go for the 54cm, the 56cm would be a bit too big for you.

    Pro or Performance - that's your choice - higher bars or lower bars?
    I like bikes...

    Agree that 56 will probably be too big.

    Unless your arms are extraordinarily long.

    Definitely the 54. I am the same height as you with a 31" inside leg, and the 54 is a perfect fit for me.

    While I haven't got one, I have ridden the older style Treks and the 56 is the size for me.

    I'm also 5'9" but I've long arms. Best bet is to get a test ride or try out the sizing on a jig...
