Bikes: Rivendell Atlantis, Cannondale Crit bike, Bianchi Incline, and soon, a Kona Kula Deluxe. Oh, and a Lemond Buenos Aires frame, and a Bridgestone MB3 frame, both awaiting some sort of build-up.

Thanks.
I am 5'10" and the Atlantis is a 54.5. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a custom-sized Atlantis frame. They are production bikes, not custom Rivendells. The wait on a custom Rivendell is something like 18 months now. However, at 5'6" you should have no trouble fitting on one of the production Atlanti. And at your height (and mine) you'll be getting one with 26" wheels. Only the larger sizes (above 56 I believe) have 700cc wheels.

More info, including how to size yourself for an Atlantis, here:

Good luck.
