My advice would be to try one on at a bike store to be certain that the frame size is right for you.
I found a used Cannondale on Ebay, a size 43, and almost bought it for a steal. I went and tried one on and found the 43 was way too small! However the Trek that I just bought is a 44 and fits perfect.
Apparently different brands run different sizes, although you would think 43 cm is 43 cm. It depends on where it's measured from and to (that's how it was explained to me, anyway)
