Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I'll put my vote in for 58 cm, which is a little smaller than my ideal size, assuming standard sized wheels (tubular/700c/27").

Smaller riders really should ride bikes with smaller wheels (note the plural, Georgena!). Here's my 1948 RRA and my wife's 1998 Bianchi Eros.
