I've watched the videos on knee to pedal with cranks at horizontal, etc. Following those rules I've found a 63 cm that fits. I'm wondering why is a bike "too big" if it fits according to this common method?
You will be riding the bike, not your friends, and you will likely be more comfortable on the larger frame. Cycling is supposed to be enjoyable.
FWIW, check out Nitto Noodle handlebars.
