Hi I'm about 5'6 with a 29in inseam and i weigh about 160 lbs (im relatively proportional... but maybe a tiny bit smaller on the torso side) and I've been looking at two different bikes wondering which would fit me better. This will be my first fixed/singlespeed bike


49cm Matte Black Dawes SST

and the

49cm or 54cm Gloss White Windsor Hour

*I opted out of the 50cm Kilo because of the complaints on overlap....

can anyone help? and also, if you guys have seen a 49cm, does the bike look stunted/midget like?

Thanks in advance for any help.
