5'8" and I ride a 56cm trek 1000 men's, my first road bike. When I bought it, the shop guys looked at me and how I looked as I rode around, and they switched out the stem for me. But that's all it needed, and it's been a good bike. Now that I have a few more miles under my belt and a better understanding of what I want, I think I'll have a better idea of what my next bike will be like. But my trek's been good for an introduction and a couple thousand miles or so.

At my LBS they never really pushed the WSD on me, I think because of my height. Maybe the fact that I have broad shoulders and ape arms also helps with me fitting to the men's well.

My roommate, who is actually taller than me (5'9") rides a WSD (I don’t know the size or brand, sorry!), and when I’m on it I feel like I'm on a hybrid or something of the sort. But it works for her, especially since she just started riding this year. By starting to ride, I mean she really has barely been on a bike since she was 10 or so, so I don't fault her for wanting to start out with something more upright than mine.
