Mainly I posed the question to find out what I might be looking for in terms of ride and quality....but size wise, anything in the 53-55cm range will work pretty well.

I ask because many of the contributors here have a great deal more knowledge then I do, including yourself, and I value that experience.

Also, I have been thinking it may be a good opportunity to build up a IGH rear / dynohub front wheel set. I've seen some sweet set ups done by other BF members !

Thanks,
