I have a Specialized Allez Cromo and love the smooth ride but the not the compact geometry. I have a 54cm frameset (on ebay for sale right now) and the 56 felt too big. I had a 56 cm Ritchey road logic and loved it but a new one is outta reach right now, which brings me to a question, anyone have any comments on a Surly Pacer or a Soma Smoothie? Thanks JFN3
