Well, I didn't actually have much choice in the matter when I ordered my Hunqapillar. The 48cm was the ONLY one that stood a chance of fitting, and it seemed to me to be a little big. I set up one of my other bikes at the same standover ... and it made me a little nervous. THe top tube on the 48 is also a little longer than my other bikes. However, after talking with Keven, it sounded like it would be fine, so I placed the order for a 48 with Albatross bars and a 12cm tech deluxe stem. I am VERY happy about the fit, and wouldn't wish for anything smaller. It rides great and fits perfectly ... so I would say don't even worry about the bigger size, especially with Albatross bars. Pics of my bike are here:
