I'm pretty settled on around 66" for winter commuting in Leeds, mainly due to the horrible winds that make me want to cry when I'm going uphill. Also getting away from lights reasonably quickly is more important to me on a commute than being able to maintain a high top speed. I've no idea what my cadence is like but I suspect it's not that high, I'm not that fussed about whizzing about super fast everywhere though. And I like skidding on descents.
