Your bike size choices, to me, again based on little input, seem a bit to the high end of your acceptable fit range, your preference perhaps--but--at some point, a bike does become too big and you may be about there on the 59cm.
You're talking about TT length, correct? Makes all the difference in the world; OP might read this and think it's related to seattube length.
