They are all the same size.
I'm five foot ten... the new seat post on my Twenty will accommodate normal people in excess of six feet and the stems can be changed for longer versions to bring the bar height up.
My friend is six foot two and only has an issue riding my Twenty as he has a 36 inch inseam and even the extra long seat post will not extend far enough for him to ride the bike... but he's a freak. His 62cm Trek 620 still has nearly foot of seat post to account for his abnormally long legs.

Sourcing rims is a *****. Stem's sitting in SF for me. Bars are somewhere on eBay. Cranks and chainring are in the mail. Cog with be picked up on Monday. Cone wrenches and headset wrench are in Santa Cruz, but will hopefully find their way up here in the next little bit. Money? Now that's a whole different issue.
Short answer: it may be a while.

Pretty much any vintage 32 hole box section clincher rim in silver. Mavic MA2 would be ideal.
I'm gonna be riding this bike on the street (hopefully it can see at least a couple laps at Hellyer), and tubulars have no appeal to me for that.

^agreed. CS2 also has that option. HDR has it's place just like any other technique. The problem is that people over use it.

True.
but also photoshops auto HDR is a joke. Even CaptureOne Pro's auto hdr leaves something to be desired. Though it is nice for actually evening out exposure instead of doing the insanely fake painting like hdr's.

You snag that off sffixed? Such a nice setup, you should look into some older Araya's, I think 80's era Arayas are really classy looking.

Pedal threds...
".. Im thinking about swapping my Fuji over to LSD. Any issues with the pedals unthreading on you?.."
onle twice have I had any trouble with them. The first was because I didn't tighten them properly, the second because ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK your flipped pedals & over tighten them when running L.S.D.
unless you're running EggBeatters- easy runnings-but not for this Clydesdale!

"...my Brooks on my Moto. has that, nearly, that same seat angle...and it hurts. I'm forced to ride that way, for the time being, because the seat post angle is maxed out to its flatest postition (still leaving me with a slightly postive rise). Do you like yours that way or are you cornered like I am?.."
-not really, my saddle feels FLAT to me.
only because ( I think) when I scoot up I'm moving on the arc(-kinda...) of the crank/BB...
so there's not much change 'cept I'm in more of a TT position "on the rivet" more...
it's a tad flatter today but I'm planning on a touch more rise-it IS comfortable for some reason...
