5'7 29-30 inseam
54cm Trek 1420 (now i'm curious if this is a WSD frame or not) Also, if with a 80mm(-10deg? angle) stem and seat slid all the way forward (post under the wide part) arms are almost fully extended on the hoods. frame too big? maybe find a 52?

6'4" riding a 61 cm Bianchi Eros
Which feels a little cramped to me, but this is my first road bike in 30 years and I trust my dealer. (I get the impression that bikes and riding positions a little more compact these days?)

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
6'1" 33"+ inseam on a 60 cm CAAD8 with a 90 mm stem.
I arrived at this bike after suffering on a 56 (nice thing about buying from a local shop; they were patient enough to help me along & make the swap) :

6'3"
59 cm 07 Lemond Tourmalet
120mm 7* stem (down) with 2.5mm of spacers
Since its the offseason I've been fiddling with things like spacers and bar position. I've settled on a good bar position, but I feel like I might be a bit too stretched out so I'm contemplating a move to a 115mm stem. However, it could just be that I need to give my body a bit of time to adjust.

61 cm Specialized Sequoia, 120 mm stem. Prefer to have higher bars and stretch forward than have a huge drop.

5' 9.5" 32 inseam.
Will be taking apart the 'mistake'. A 52 Top Tube Fondriest, 50 seat tube CC, 52 center to top. Was far too small for me. Will soon be riding a 57TT Look. Not sure of stem yet.

I'm 5' 7" with a 79.5cm inseam and I currently ride a 54cm Trek. The next bike I get I'm going to go slightly smaller though so that the top tube is roughly 54cm.

5' 8.75" w/32" inseam
Rides: Both with -7degree 100mm stems,40cm Bars and 172.5 cranks.
54cm Fuji Roubaix 'V'
48cm Lapierre Team Scandium (Sloping top tube frame; virtual top-tube measurement is 54.5cm)
Soon to be added to the stable...50cm Fuji SL1 (Actual/Virtual TT length = 53.08/54.5cm)
Seat tube lengths don't play a big role in my choice of frame geometry as the seat post usually evens out that aspect.
Wife is 5' 8" w/32" inseam
Ride: 7degree stem w/40cm Specialized WSD bars
Size M Giant OCR1
