Ordered a 54cm Felt F95 yesterday off Merlin Cycles. Im using it as a winter bike and keeping my roubaix inside over the winter.

Just wondering as i haven't actually sat on the bike, have i ordered the right size? Im 173cm.. ish and i ride a 54cm roubaix with 16cm of seat post showing.

According to Felts website etc I should be riding a 54 as its very similar geometry to an Allez.

Should i go 56cm and have less seat post showing and a shorter stem so its a slightly more relaxed riding position?

Here is the geometry for the Felt:

Thanks in advance

    Think 54cm will be okay for you. Im 180cm and have just got the 56cm as a winter bike too. Standover height is fine for me (ive got a 29 inch inside leg) and think the 56cm might be too big for yu, however best bet is to check your existing frame dimensions in the Felt site against your existing frame and see what matches best.

    The 54cm is closer to my current bike, the only differences are the wheelbase and head tube as i would expect as roubaix is designed to be more upright.
