OP, pics of you on bike please.

also, are you reasonable flexible?

how is the saddle positioned?
Agree, totally. I'm 6'0" (OK, actually 5'11.75"), similar build, and on a M/L with a 13 cm stem my fit is dialed. So the L with a slightly shorter stem (like the 9-11 cm range) should not be a stretch.

You really don't look bad on it. If after rotating the handlebar forward you find you're putting too much pressure on the hands, slide the saddle back a little. Getting the weight off your hands lets your ride with more extension, but if you still feel overextended try something just a little shorter.

BTW, lazerzxr, that's a compact frame so the size is virtualized. If you drew a horizontal from some point near the top of the head tube to the seat post, the span of that intersection to the bottom bracket would be around 58 cm. With a 58.5 cm virtual top tube, the large TCR would be somewhat on the large end of a 58. Sort of like a Tarmac.
