Pulled the trigger
After about two years I started looking for a steel bike and used this forum to get advice on fit. Last month I pulled the trigger and bought an All City Mr. Pink size 49. Fit is good and I'm happy with how the bike rides. It's been comfortable and I think the fit has been dialed in pretty well. The standover is a little tight but the reach and stack seem fine. It looks sort of like the Competitive Cyclists' French Fit. Thanks to all for their input.

Pretty bike. You might try moving the brifters down until the levers are vertical.

My wife has an All-City Macho Man. I don't know the difference between that and your bike, but it's an impressive bike, fit for many kinds of uses. It rides great, too.

Thanks for the replies.
Carbonfiberboy checked my other bike from the same shop and the brifters are in the same posistion. I had thought of moving those down but never got around to it. Maybe in the winter.
Tom, the Macho man is a cross bike so the geo is a little different and cantilevers or discs. I looked at that also.
