Longer Top Tube Vintage Steel?

I picked up a sweet Kuwahara Sprint, Ishiwata EX, Suntour (Sprint) parts, etc., for my girlfriend. We are the same height (6'2"), but my legs are shorter, so the ride home on the 61cm bike was nothing better than okay. What amazed me, however, was how smooth the Suntour drivetrain was. No clacking, no nothing, just smooth shifts. Soo,,,,

I want to find a similar bike, with a relatively shorter seat tube and longer top tube in the 58 - 59 range. I am in Toronto, so there are more Mieles, Nishikis, etc., but the former seem very upright, in a limited look at them.

I appreciate any help...\

John
