I found this fit calculator that I am sure you are all familiar with.

Your Measurements
Gender M
Inseam 86 cm
Trunk 61 cm
Forearm 33.5 cm
Arm 63 cm
Thigh 59 cm
Lower Leg 56 cm
Sternal Notch 151 cm
Total Body Height 181 cm

And here is what they said.


Code:
                              The Competitive Fit       The Eddy Fit      The French Fit 
         
Seat tube range c-c         	55.7 - 56.2       56.9 - 57.4       58.6 - 59.1
Seat tube range c-t 	        57.4 - 57.9 	  58.6 - 59.1 	    60.3 - 60.8
Top tube length 	        53.4 - 53.8 	  53.4 - 53.8 	    54.6 - 55.0
Stem Length 	                10.8 - 11.4 	  9.7 - 10.3 	    9.9 - 10.5
BB-Saddle Position 	        79.9 - 81.9 	  79.1 - 81.1 	    77.4 - 79.4
Saddle-Handlebar 	        51.2 - 51.8 	  52.0 - 52.6 	    53.7 - 54.3
Saddle Setback                  4.7 - 5.1 	  5.9 - 6.3 	    5.4 - 5.8
Now I guess since my bike has a curved top tube, 56cm is the number it would be if it wasn't curved. With a 56.5 top tube length.

My stem is 10cm

Saddle Height = 77cm

Saddle to Handlebar = 51.5

Saddle Setback = 6cm

Everything is pretty close in range. Getting shoes and pedals tomorrow and then going to take some longer rides this weekend and see how everything is.

Was actually going to try and drop the stem down 1 notch, before I saw this. Sometimes it feels like I need more reach. But then when I am cruising and get low I feel fine.

Can't wait to get shoes. I bought some different clips 2 days ago, and after taking off one of the old clips I realized the new ones won't fit. So just took them back and decided I will enjoy real cycling shoes and pedals much better.
