5ft 10.5 inches with a 56 CAAD 12 disc and 110mm stem.
There isn’t much seatpost (by contemporary standards) sticking out, but it fits well (or at least to my taste).
I would say I’m right at the bottom of the 56 sizing
6ft2 and I had a 56. Normally ride a 57/58. Dale do size up pretty big..
I think this is true to an extent – but because a lot of manufacturers ‘size small’ – partly because they use compact frames (mostly), us S, M, L, type sizing and some have under length TTs for a nominal size. The CAAD 12 (and other CAAADs are pretty much ‘traditional’ and true sizing.
One more thing… when I built up my CAAD 12 – I though “Shite, this is massive, it’s too big”. It’s because of the horizontal top tube. When I held it up to similar frames it looked more in proportion.
