Kylen721 I believe what you're saying but I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a 50cm bike not being too short for a 5'10" guy with a 32" inseam. With that said, I really appreciate your feedback. It's hard to get solid responses sometimes.
Others may disagree with me, but top tube length to me is the most important measurement in sizing a frame. Based on your fit calculator results the 50cm Kilo is pretty much right on for you top tube length wise.

Edit: Not that it means much for you sizing wise, but I am 5'9 and was very happy with my 50cm kilo.
