S-Works Tarmac SL8 Sizing Help

Hey Guys

I am looking into the S-Works SL8.

I am 178 cm with a 85 cm inseam, therefore a very short torso and a bit short arms.
Currently riding a Colnago V4RS size 510 with 100 mm stem length - this bike feels a bit long on the arms and I am experiencing neck pain no matter how many bike fits I have had.

So now my dilemma is what size SL8? I dont have a Specialized shop anywhere near me sadly.
I feel like I definitely need a size 54, even though the Specialized calculator says 56.

I was thinking 54 with a 90 mm stem.
Any experiences or advice?
Thanks

Advice on choice of bike.

Hey guys

I had a pre-purchase bike fit for both the S-Works Tarmac SL8 and the Gen5 Cannondale Supersix Evo Lab71 - they fit me equally well..
So now I am left with the hard choice of which bike to buy.

Is there anyone out there with both bikes or just one of them that could give their view on which I should choose.

I bike 400+ km a week around hilly Denmark at an okay level.

Supersix Evo Lab71 2026

Hey guys.

Im looking at moving over from my Colnago V4RS size 510 with 100 cm stem length to a size 54 Supersix Evo Lab71 2026 with 90 cm stem length.

Had my Colnago for 3 years, always felt a bit long for me.

I am 177 cm, with a short torso and long legs for my height. Would you recommend 52 with 100 cm stem or 54 with 90 cm stem.
