I voted no as it won't be too small for someone of say 5'8". Now if the question was "Is Rich Hill's bike too small for Rich Hill" then I'd have voted yes. It is however the correct size that Specialized designed.

Nothing a LOAD of spacers and seatpost height won't sort out.

| He does look absolutely rubbish on a bike. He needs to be rotated forwards by about 15 degrees. |

Yes, but that would cause such a HUGE shift in the centre of gravity................  |

Hill generates his own gravity

+ spacers on a road bike are for sportive riders and triantelopes.

| I though Richards bike was too small last year, proably reflects in his results. A visit to Red Kite should sort him out with a new bike. |

He had a visit to a bike shop, and has come away with an identically sized bike. |

It was - last year he rode a 54cm and he's 5'11". This time he's on a size M Specialized

He did exactly the same last year, got the bike too small.
johnpov, his current shop have told him it's the wrong size when he bougth his Specialized, but he is one of those annoying customers that never listens.

A certain Texan that won a few races in France might disagree with that
