Lisa-

That is very helpful - I'd already looked at pictures of your bike - it's lovely! I need to *ahem* find a friend to help measure the pubic bone height - what I listed as my inseam is truly that, and I know it will be little higher. I'll try to do so tonight.

Jobob and Emily-

My road bike is actually a 52, and I probably could have ridden a 54 (bought it used, and it was the right bike at the right time, so I didn't go there), so the idea of a 54 doesn't scare me. I was, however, worried about top tube issues. The last thing I want is to be too stretched out!

What I want to do *now* is make sure I don't need a 52 - if not, then I can sit back a little while and not have to deal with my dh's reaction to 2 new bikes at one time
