quick question which i should know the answer to...
i'm about 5'5 and i don't remember what the best size frame would be for me. i'm looking to buy a used roadbike because i am converting mine to fixed.

50 cm max is a pretty good rule...
I'm 5' 5" and I like 49 cm...
I'm pretty average...I have 48, 49, and 50 frames...
and the 49 fits the best for my average legs...the 48 seems a little cramped in the top tube, and the 50 feels a little long (even though the stem I have is not very long)
If you have longer legs, you might want the 50, if you have shorter legs, you might look at a 48 ...
of course you have to take into account your arm length, and how aggressive you'll be riding also!!
And everything else will have to be adjusted to fit... stem/saddle/seat post...
of course the above is in reference to "standard" geometry
