Puzzled about the big variations in frame size. A 54 might be appropriate for somebody 5'-8" or so where as a a 58 frame would fit somebody 6' or so. What do you really need ?

Have a Schwinn Passage and Raleigh Alyeska in your size range that might be of interest to you.
Will PM pics and measurements.
Some teaser specs about the Alyeska.

I have one of those myself; a 1989 miyata 1000. I was just curious about why you wished to replace the miyata.
