Are people using the same sized bikes as their road bikes?

1cm smaller should be fine. I take it you've measured the actual sizes rather than going on what the manufacturers say?

I prefer the top tube a little shorter but they generally are on cx rather than road for the same frame size. If that makes sense

Ie. 54 cannondale tt on cx is shorter than tt on road bike despite it being the same size so be careful when buying

Spin - not going to order unseen, will sling a leg over one before parting with cash.
