I have a Bianchi Eros Donna that I love. You might add the Jamis Aurora to your short list, too. Ultimately, fit will have a lot to do with comfort. It's not just a question of frame material, although I do love steel myself. Try as many bikes as you can and give them a solid test ride.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
