I am 6'1" and still growing (I'm 15), so I guess 700c wheels would be fine
. The Sirrus is about $150 outside my pricerange, and it seems like most companies' flat bar road bikes are too.
If its fender eyelets you're worried about, I was looking at this one, which also has front suspension:

Heck, it even comes with fenders. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
I don't really care about the maintenence or weight of front sus. If I can find a good bike for a good price that has sus, I'd get it. But if I could trade front sus for better components in a bike under $400, preferably around 350-370, I would.
