Hey everyone so im buying a new road bike and i currently ride a 53cm with a pretty high standover height, when i stand over it the bar pushes up firmly on my groin area. I measured my inseam and it's around 75-77cm which leads me to around a 49cm size bike, which seems perfect as it leaves me 1-2 inches clearance on stand over height with the bike. I'm 5'8 and will someone around my size help me decide on if i should get a 49cm or a 52cm since those are the 2 sizes im stuck with in choosing for the bike i want.
PS: Also when i ride my current 53cm bike and im on the bottom of my peddles my legs is basically all the way straight. Which probably means the bike is a little too big. You also think going from a 53cm to a 49cm will be too big of a drop or is it gonna be a much better fit for me?
Oh and also my legs are a little shorter than usual. I measured around a 29 inseam which is about 76cm.
