Wanted: 44cm Road Bike/Frame for Time Trials

Just looking for any quality used 44cm (seatpost measurement) road bike or frame that has proven worthy in time trials. Hoping to find someone that is planning to upgrade perhaps to a newer model in the near future and would like to sale their current or older bike. Would like ~53-39 double crankset w/170 crankarm. Prefer not to have integrated aerobars so it can be ridden for road races as well. Willing to consider all reasonable postings. Would like to have something in hand by next spring for the start of the season. Thanks.

44 center to center or center to top? and what standover height and top tube length do you need?

44cm seat tube c-t; top tube 49.5cm; standover height 68cm.

Those measurements are taken from my Merlin Camena that I bought used a few years ago and it fits great. I just won't risk racing it anymore. Been there, done that, and too many crashes for my comfort. So I'd rather ride my Merlin Camena for century and training rides and purchase another used bike for racing. Any feedback you care to offer would be appreciated.

Definitely the frame I have is too big for you. Are you planning to race time trial or triathlon?

Time trials and criteriums and road races.

Hoping to find a bike before next spring that is versatile to do them all. I'll keep on searching. Thanks.
