    I’m pretty much exact size as you. I would suggest 58 always for numerous of reasons:

    -more compact frame potentially leads to better feel (fully subjective though)

    -smaller headtube usually leading to more racy reach/stack ratios

    -highly unlikely, but if cramped you can always buy 1cm/2cm longer stem and/or add a setback with a new seatpost (making your new position spot on)

    I have a friend who works at Cycle Division and he advised a 58, but I thought it would be best coming from guys that are riding the frames

    I’ve got a 56cm 2014 HiMod

    I’ve got a 56cm 2014 HiMod

    I’m 6’1″, 34″ inside leg (without shoes on)

    I run it with a zero set back seat-post, 120mm stem and 20mm spacer, 172.5mm cranks (saddle to bar drop is approx. 110mm).

    A 60cm sounds like it could be on the large size, have you been in touch with anyone who knows a bit about bike fitting?  That may help guide you to the correct frame size.

    Sounds about right to me. Synapse has a different geometry too.

    What I like about the geo of the CAADs and the Supersixes is it’s pretty traditional. There’s nothing tricksy, a 58 is a 58 and so on.

    I could probably ride a 60 but it’d be a compromise as regards the stem.

    My other bike is an Aeroad in a XL which is a 60 but really a 59, should of got the L  but that’s low at the front. Tricky process and still not quite right. Never had any of that fuss when getting the CAAD frame. Never had to question whether It’s too big or small.

    For the record my Aeroad in an XL with the 110 stem slammed is exactly the same size as my CAAD in a 58 with one 5mm spacer and a 120 stem..

    I was surprised at how small

    I was surprised at how small I ended up going on mines too – 5’9″ and I’m on a 52, albeit with a slightly longer stem than stock. Definitely go test ride if possible. If your LBS doesn’t let you, Evans will.

    Similar comments here – I’m 6

    Similar comments here – I’m 6’1, and riding a 58. I reckon I could grow a few more inches and have absolutely no problems. A 60 would definitely be too big for me.

     

    Lovely bike. Really nice. Got mine with an insurance claim after my Canyon SLX got nicked. The Canyon was great – but the Supersix is a whole lot better. Ridiculously comfortable for a bike that’s sold as a race bike.

    I’m the same height as you

    I’m the same height as you with a pretty similar leg length, maybe a tiny touch longer but not much. I’m bang on a 58 in CAAD’s and Supersix’s.

    Currently riding a 58 CAAD10 with a 120 stem and one 5 mm spacer. It’s a fairly long and low set up but nothing drastic. Got a saddle to bar drop of about 13-14cm..

    Worth test riding first. I am 5’10” with 32″ inseam and ride a 54cm with 100mm stem and zipp sl-70 bars.

    You may find a 56cm is actually ideal with a good bike fit.
