Bikes: ca.1975 Gitane Interclub - 90's Colnago Master Competition- ca.'84 Merckx Corsa - '77 Groene Leeuw - ca. '78 Guerciotti - ca.1984 L'Express - 1974 Gitane 'Super Olympic' - Peugeot 1981 PXN10 - 1975 Peugeot PR10 -1974 Norta -1974 Peugeot PX10 LE

As others have said, don't worry too much about frame size. Theoretically, I should feel most comfortable with a 56 c-t, but I've got bikes ranging from 55 to 60cm c-t with different stemsizes and seatpost-length, obviously, and they all feel comfortable even if my riding position is quite different from one to the other. Much depends on the use; some feel better for hilly rides, others on cobbles, etc. All this in function of relatively short and 'leisurely' rides. Of course, if you're talking 6 hour rides at competition-speed, things might get a little more critical!
