52 is definately a small - I have one too.

I'm 5'7 and it fits me just right.

I'm 5'9 (nearly...) and after nearly a year the 54 seems a little small. At first it felt huge.

I'm 5'9" and have a 56 Allez, suits me just fine, the 54 felt too small tbh so I'd say the guide above is reasonably accurate. All depends on YOUR actual physical dimensions though...

I'm 5'5" and have the Allez Sport 52cm and its perfect. Had to lower the seat lol, but thats sorted now, my only concern is that I feel like I'm over-reaching a bit, but that might just be because I aren't used to riding a road bike compared to a mountain bike.

Depends on your build - try a couple of sizes, I've got a 54 C'dale and wish I'd got a 52
