[Closed] Bike sizing and (separately) 96ers

I used to ride 58cm road bikes, but have been on 56s recently due to finding a few bargins and, getting no a bit, needing less of a John Tomac-break-your-back-attack postion (c) S. Dangerous

I think I've gotten used to the proprtions, any thoughts?

Ditto re. my 29er (in 96er guise for an upcoming tour - is this a new niche?) - I had to go 1-2 sizes down for a drop-bar friendly top tube length (drop bar 29ers seem to have silly head length head tubes too) oh and I know the saddle set-up needs sorted.
