Well i'm useually a MTB'er but might step over to teh dark side and get a road bike, i went to my local bike shop and had a fiting session and these are my specs..
Crank - middle of top tube by seat post = 560mm
top tube centre to centre of seat post = 557mm
and around the 73* angle front and back..
front forks to rear mech hanger = 991mm.
looking at crank arms of 172.5
ideally camp drive chain and shifters, but open to suggestions..
the local bike shop have suggested a few models such as :-
trek 1.2 / 1.5 (56cm)
Genesis (58cm)
giant (M/L)
ridley eos (Medium)
blanchi vn7 (57cm)
basso devil (56cm)
i too have had a look around and come up with :-
Cube
claud butler, chinook, criterium, san remio, roubaix & milano (all 23" frame)
Ribble Audax (56cm) (plus this has campag drive chain and shifters..)
also Focus i think came in on some ranges but can't pin point now the models..
price wise not looking to spend more than £1k, and if i buy 2nd hand potentially get better value for money..
any suggestions welcome, should i buy new from the shop and have a warrenty frame or buy second hand ?.. also any new suggestions to suitable frame ??
cheers in advance
