I'd go with whichever has a top tube closest to but not longer than your road bike, assuming you have at least a little standover over either.
BOB!!!

Awesome OTB racers would tell you to ride a 54.

I ride and I ride a 56 on the road.

2cm smaller is typically the rule. The strange thing is, my 54 OTB and CAAD 9 cdales are taller than my 55 road bike...but I attribute that to the beefier tires on the cross bikes.

52 would be too narrow in the wheelbase...you may get toe overlap with the 54 and you will certainly get a lot more with a 52.

See you on Labor Day!
That's great info Jason!!! Looking forward to Labor Day!!!
