Here in Russia people more like offroad touring and usually they disscuss about surly troll, ogre, ecr frames or other frames with similar geometry.
Your answers is really helpful for me, especially spreadsheet.
Today I remeasured inseam parameter more accurate and it increased to 83cm.
So I think I should try to find either 54cm or 56cm 700c surly DT frames.
Also I read today about Soma saga dc frame which has 54cm 700c size and I think it also can be suitable for me.
I will looking a little bit larger frames than fit calculator suggested me, because I will use trekking/butterfly bar which a little bit closer to me than other bars (dropbar or flatbar).
So my next step is to find dealers who are ready to send frame to Russia.
I am about 179cm and ride a 56. I could ride a 54. I think you would be safe getting the 54. As I said before, I prefer the 26 inch wheels. I wouldn't give the wheel size too much thought. Buy the bike that fits.
