Well, after riding a few bikes of varying sizes I've finally settled on a Trek 43cm with 650 wheels. It's certainly the smallest bike I've ever sat on but the top tube fitted perfectly unlike the others, including the lovely LHT. I really love smaller wheels too

I wanted to get the 2010 model as the colour scheme for the 2011 model is a little hard to take, but I'll have to add more blue bits to counteract the white.

Already thinking about my next bike I want one I can use as a tourer so that might need to be custom build or maybe I could adapt a child's bike. I did see a rather nice Dawes Espoir junior road bike on a website but didn't try to get one for a test ride.
