As for you, it looks good to me -- leg is slightly bent at the bottom of the stroke, knee is over pedal pedal spindle, etc. How does it feel to ride?

I'm 5'7" - I typically ride a 54 cm and also a 55 cm. 56 is too tall for me.

Awesome. Just goes to show that there are lots of different ways to be 5'7".
