There's a lot to be said in favor of 26" wheels for someone your height. Granted, it limits your tire and wheel options a bit, but it fixes some problems related to fit and geometry.
Of course, you should obviously get what
you want. The Rove might be just the ticket.
A lot of people think Apex is as good as 105. Personally, I prefer Shimano to SRAM, but I find the new Tiagra makes me as happy as the old 105.
