Where's the cm, top or down tube? Lots of factors here, but 1cm ain't gonna kill you or me.

The only place I could not re-arrange things to compensate for 1 cm would be stand over , the only guy here I know that +1 cm on stand over makes NO difference is the good doc dbrk :)

Eight inches of seatpost? Seems like a lot, my slightly-too-small Marcelo is showing a bit less than 6 and that seems like a lot to me, visually.

Maybe you should try a 59 or even a 60?

bro, you like the bars low.

get the head tube measurement on the new ride.

the bb height should be about the same, so you can compare
the handlebar position by measuring the length of the head tube.
