It's gonna depend on more than your height.
I know knowing your inseam length helps.
But I'm not good with bike sizing, soooo.
My suggestion would be to go to your LBS and try out different sizes and get them to help.

A good place to start is your inseam in centimeters multiplied by two thirds. Thats just a basic technique though. There are other factors. Test ride on if you can, if you can't then I hope the bike you get works out for you.

The Hour is a great starter bike if this is your first fixie. You will not be able to test ride it though since its a BikeDirect bike and they are online only.

dont have them at LBS'. And its pretty much bikesdirect or a used one. I have a 52 cm and stand a whopping 5-8. Love the bike, I have changed all but a back wheel and cranks pretty much.
The thing to do is go ride a fuji track at a bike shop. The windsors are pretty much spot on with their geo. so whatever fits you there will prob be what you want, thats what I did give or take a centimeter because they run in odd #'s

Get the Kilo-TT or order a low-priced carbon fork at the same time, A-la-nashbar or similar
