dreww said:OOH crap Cannondales CX sizing is really screwed, I ride a 54cm CAAD 7, I just bought a 04' Cannondale CX bike and after much deliberating settled on a 52cm. My buddy who also rides a 54cm C'dale had to go with a 50cm CX C'dale as top tube length on a 52 was too long. I am 5' 10" so really a 52 would be too small, but stand over is higher on my 52 CX than my 54 road bike!
Question is how does the 58cm fit you?
First guess is if 58 road is good then 56CX is O.K, but tough to say without answering above question.

Try a bunch of options and see what fits the best, based on the requirements that others gave...
agreed, but some people are brand devotees, regardless of fit or function.

C'dales sizing of their CX is crap, however if werdna has 7.5" of standover on his roadie 1cm difference aint gonna hurt him. OOh if you get one change the tubes, both mine and buddies came with .45mm 54gram lite tubes in 32mm CX tires. Can you say pinch flat!
