Just want to echo that IRO's quoted stand-over will be better for determining fit than the measurement they term "size." My friend, 5'10", recently bought a "53cm" Angus (granted, that's the lower end of his size range), and the frame ended up becoming mine (I'm 5'2" - yes, it's at the high end of my size range, but still). It's definitely a good idea to try one in person, if you can make it happen.
