I'm 5'9-1/2" (177 cm) tall and ride road bikes ranging from 54 to 57.5 cm. lately! I've come to find that I like smaller bikes better.
By the way, I agree that the Cross Check is a weird fitting frame. You're better off buying a small one than a big one.
My PBH is 33" (84 cm). I have short legs for my height, and I'm glad, because I can ride a smaller bike than others of my height can. However, I have huge feet, and it wonder how that affects my fit and abilities.
