It depends on a lot of things, and on what you care about. If you always stop the bike is such a way that you won't have hard crotch contact, then you can get a bike with a standover height as tall as your cycling inseam plus shoe thickness. In this case, a 55cm seat tube combined with a small bottom bracket height and a slack seat tube angle might work well for you. Height isn't the be-all end-all criterion.
