Again, I am very grateful for all of your comments and suggestions. Temptation (as in the 58 cm blue Rambouillet frame now available on ebay - the one that I hear whispering my name) is a terrible thing. The consensus seems to be that I would be better off on a 60 cm bike (or a 59, I assume, on a AHH).
Just for the sake of asking, what would I notice if I decided to go after the 58 cm frame now on ebay. How would being on a frame that is a bit too small affect the way that I feel on the bike. Likewise, what improvement in feel would I gain by moving up to the 60 (or 59 AHH)?
