Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Look at a Specialized Allez in the XL frame. I have a long torso and short legs (6'1: and 30" inseam), and the Allez has an effective top tube length of 60 cm, and a slant top tube, so the saddle height is like a 58 cm frame would be. It gives us long torso people some stretching room in the cockpit. It's a criterium geometry, so it will feel a bit twitchy, at first, but feels like a rocket under you. It's basically a human powered Ferrari.
