Hi,

My height is 5' 6(172cm) or (171cm). My inseam is 2' 5(78cm).
I rode 2012 trek 2.1c H2 52cm.

I'm going to buy caad10 52cm tomorrow.
When I talked with shop owner, he told me 52size is good size for me.

What do you think about buying this bike?

Can I ride caad10 52cm bike?
I think it will be a little big..? :?

48 or 50 depending on your reach

Thanks,

maybe it could be too big for me...right?

a 52cm frame is going to be too big. It will look proportionally wrong so better to go down a frame size.

I think you'd be borderline for a 52, so maybe best off with a 50. I'm basing that on being a few inches taller, but with similar length legs, monkey arms and riding a 54 CAAD10.

Don't know about the correct bike size but your conversions are a bit off.

5' 6 is 167.6cm and 2' 5 is 73.6cm so if you are using a metric sizing chart you could be in trouble with your original figures.

Sorry, I don't know how to use ft or in....

I always use 'cm'...

'cm' is correct..
