I looked at what I said in May too, and now I'm more comfy than ever on my Giant FCR and the wsd feature that I like best is the short reach brakes.
Of course the Brooks saddle and leather wrap grips haven't hurt either.

5' 2.75" (rounded up), 29.5 inseam, size 9 shoes.
I rented a Giant OCR2 XS to use for a 25-mile ride. The steering felt *bargey* to me, but it was fine (though unremarkable) otherwise.
I own a 19" Terry Symmetry, soon to be swapped with a 19" Isis frame, 9 cm stem. Frame cracked before I could put many miles on it, but every ride felt wonderful and left me wanting more.
Also ride a S Gary Fisher Marlin MTB.
5'4, 31 inch inseam. Colnago C50 46 sloping (52 standard)...a scotch too big but I live with it. I need a slightly shorter stem but am already at 90mm.
Also specialized Era F/S mountain bike. in a S
5' 1" -- not sure what my inseam is, but I have short legs. I used to ride a Trek 2.3 WSD 47 cm... but after a year, I felt cramped. New bike is a Trek Madone 4.7 50 cm. Much, much better! I love the WSD's because my hands are very small and I can easily brake/shift on the hoods or in the drops.
