Raleigh Airlite 100 - anyone got one & what size?

[DCLane]

If I have won £500 to spend on a bike it looks like it's to be spent at Raleigh. TBH I don't need to replace the MTB so it'd be the winter hack which would be replaced. The Virtuoso has been re-built for winter 2012 but it's always been a bit too big at 56cm. I'd planned replacing it in 2013, so it'd just be done a year early.

Has anyone had one? It seems to be the best road bike they've got for £500.

Also, re. sizing; they do a 51 and 55. I'm 5' 9" with a 31" inside leg and usually ride a 53/54cm
