I apologize for my ignorance, but i am here to learn.

First, there are some weenies on here. Just get used to it.

As to size, it actually can vary from one mfg to another, and the length of your legs. That said you will prolly be looking in the 57 - 61 range. Go to your local bike shop and test ride a few things. In the process they will help you out with proper sizing.

As to what kind of bike, are you looking for a single speed or a fixed gear?
