You'll have a fight on your hands getting them to make you a 700c wheel bike though.... they like to put 650's on bikes even for taller people. Not that it can't be done. My coach has a Rodriquez with 700's, but she had to tell them that she'd take her buisiness elsewhere if they wouldn't do it.

I have road bikes with both 700's and 650's. To tell the truth I don't find a huge difference between them, but there are differences and for me the 700 wheel bike is better. Contrary to what everyone wants to tell you about small bikes and fit, for my body the 700's on the 44cm frame are better for me. The steeper seatpost angle just works better for my body. On my 47cm with the 650's my saddle is pushed so far back it looks funny.... I'm more efficient on the 700c bike too so for me that is the one that sprints and climbs better, but the only time I'm going to really notice the differences is in competition.
