2012, not 2013, but anyway, 5'9", got a 17.5" frame. Tried a 19" frame but the top tube was getting a bit long for me. Not sure how different, if at all, the frame geometries are between the 2012 and 2013.

I'm 6' with quite long arms, and the 20" frame was too short for me, so I bought the 22.5" frame. FX series, not the DS though.

The DS and FX frame geometries are very different and one can't be used to compare to the other. In the 17.5 frame size, the tup tube on the DS is 59cm, on the FX it's 54.8cm.
