I have an 80cm PBH and ride a 54cm Quickbeam. To my measurements a 52 would be too small and cramped for drops and certainly so for upright bars. I think all the runs of the Quickbeam included a 54cm size. If you decide to change your sizing up you will have access to the orange models and 700c wheels.
