My road and cross bike are both 54s.. I'm 5'6" with 32" inseam and really short torso/arms. My roadie is a Trek Madone 5.2 WSD, the Specialized Tricross is not WSD (I think Terry is the only company with WSD cross bikes). In hindsight, I think a smaller frame (52) would've fit me better because of the top tube, but my cross bike was my first bike. When I replace the TriCross, I plan to try a 52 to see if it's a better fit.
