I took it into a LBS (the guys at Revolution Cycle were super helpful) today to have it looked at and check the size. The thing I didn't notice but the tech pointed out to me was the steerer tube had been cut down quite aggressively. I think that was the reason I was feeling uncomfortable on the two trainer test rides. Just reaching too much and leaning too far forward. Unfortunately, short of buying a new fork, that is the one thing that can't be modified.

I am bringing it back to my buddy tomorrow and will keep riding my cheap starter road bike this winter until something comes available (if anyone has something in a 54 or 56 they are looking to sell in the spring let me know). It doesn't make a huge difference on the trainer anyway.
