Hi everyone, this is my 1st post on Slow Twitch or any online forum; so please be nice, lol!
I’m sure this question has been asked (YES, I have searched for an answer, but I would like some more personalized advice), but I have an opportunity to get a really amazing deal on a Cervelo P2C 54cm. My question is: Is a 54 too big?
I’m 5’-7” barefoot, proportional torso to legs and arms. I am flexible and ride aggressively.
I am an engineer and I put my body dimensions and both a 51cm and 54cm bike into CAD. From what I can determine, I can make both bikes work. It appears that I have the options to make the 51cm larger/longer or make the 54 smaller/shorter, but I’m no expert. I am going to get a fitting done once I get a TT/triathlon bike.
What I’m looking for you all is: advice, opinion, suggestion. Someone please steer me in toward the correct frame.

P.S.: By the way, I currently ride a Cervelo Team (S1) 54cm in both the tri position and traditional road position. Both positions work and feel fine. Getting a fitting on that next week!
