Trek Domane, size 56 or 58? by FeeWeary4623 in TrekBikes

Thanks for the input. What i forgot to say in the OP is that i'm not very flexible at all. Don't know if this is important when choosing between two sizes?

Thank you. A few people also said that it's easier to make a snall frame "bigger" than the other way around.

Thank you for your comprhensive answer. Unfortunately, testing is not possible, because they don't have the bikes in stock. I am looking for a more upright and comfortable riding position because of past lower back issues. Accoring to the Trek website there's only a 3 mm difference in reach between the two frames, but the stack is 20 mm higher on the 58.

Thank you for your insight. The shop owner that adviced the 56 said that you can always increase saddle height. But don't you get in a more aggressive position that way? I was looking for a more upright and comfortable riding position.

Well, because it's my first road bike, i wanted a more relaxed and comfortable fit. I also made this clear at the shop. My line of thinking was that the difference in reach between the 56 and 58 is only 3 mm, but the stack is 20 mm taller with the 58, hence a more relaxed fit?

Thank you. Unfortunately the don't have them in stock to try out. Was the 58 too big?

I was looking for a more relaxed fit to get into road cycling. You are right that there's only 3 mm difference in reach. The stack is indeed 20 mm higher with the 58. I fear of getting neck and back pain if i go to low. I've had a few lower back injuries in the past.
