bike experts - help me with Kuota roadie sizing....

I would rather be slightly undersized then even a hair's breath over.  Conservative side of me says buying blind to go with the XL ...... and NOT the XXL.  Especially if you are fit comfortably to a 57 tri geometry.

I used to ride 60's for everything.  Now in my "old age" I've gone down to 58's.  I feel much more comfortable on them and even though I sometimes need a little extra seat pole, they still work fine.

And I'm 6'-1".

Although I did see the thread title earlier but didn't bite.

LOL, I knew it.  Just gotta find the right fly and float it perfectly ...    Seriously, thanks for the advice, and to generalee as well. 

OK, Alexandre at Kuota says your an XL, unless you are extremely mis-proportioned.  Love love love the Kharma.  I like the white one over the red one.  I think spending the extra for the DA over the Ultegra is a bad idea.  The weight difference is not worth the price difference and I - in my limited ability - felt no difference in the shifting, for what it's worth.
