How Tall Are You. What is your frame size?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Resurrecting this bad boy mainly because it just put me at ease.

I bought a 56 Specialized Allez and was thinking I should have went with a 54 because most people who are 5'9" with 30" inseam for pants are riding 54's. Turns out I should have checked my height first anyway because I have not checked it in 2 years and am now 5'10" with 32" pants inseam and 33.5 cycling inseam. Now my mind AND my body are comfortable on my bike.

5'10"
56
33.5"?
32"

If we are going shoeless, then I will say 6'3".
It this is the NBA, I will claim at least 6'5".
I ride a 60cm Trek 2100 and a 61cm Specialized Tricross Singlecross (and a 59cm Raleigh beater that's a little small but not really)
