I'm having a very hard time parsing what it is you're typing... but going off of what Leisesturm has written it seems you're a candidate for french fit... which is a good guideline if you've got a much larger torso in proportion (as I do), at 5'9" I ride 53-57cm frames depending on geometry and most critically TT length. To be honest, my advice to you is this.. get your butt down to the LBS, throw you leg over a few bikes and see what fits for standover and has room for you to hang out over the TT without being too stretched out (unless of course you want a road or tracking racing geometry frame setup to specs), and not too cramped up i.g. hitting your knees on your own chest.
