The steel road bikes are nice. But for commuting around Chicago, don't you want something that'll take fenders and racks, maybe with a little bit fatter and lower pressure tires?

I agree 51 cm is likely to fit you.

Around here, there is an old steel 10 speed Mongoose Hilltopper for sale that someone has fitted with 700c wheels and city tires. Something like that could be very practical.
