whatever, tried it at lbs first
As a data point, I went with the 53cm as well being just over 5'9" and measuring a 32" inseam. I was able to measure my own inseam using a hardcover book standing with my back to the wall and the book pressed against the wall to keep it level.
Keep in mind that the Kilo TT frame sizes are listed as the center to seat tube (c-c) length not center to top tube (c-t) length like a lot of other bikes. So the 53cm kilo tt is a 56cm c-t and the 50cm is a 53cm c-t. Mine fits me great; I have about .5 to 1in of play when I stand over the bike which is nice for lots of stops and starts when commuting / city riding.
