I knew you and I were similar heights. I am more Cro Magnon than spider monkey: short legs, long trunk, long arms. I am always looking for longish top tube and lots of drop. My flat bar bike had 5.5" of saddle to bar drop. I could probably make that 57 work. But knowing that I am too cheap to ever make it look as good as yours is a very nice disincentive. It would always be a pale comparison.
I will instead try to dominate the steel single speed category of the Addiction thread. Until Mr. @
