YOUR MEASUREMENTS

Actual Inseam 34 In
Trunk 25.5 In
Forearm 14.5 In
Arm 26 In
Thigh 24.5 In
Lower Leg 22.25 In
Sternal Notch 58 In
Total Height 70.75 In

And for the Eddie Fit size:
Fit style
The Eddy Fit
Top Tube Length 55.5 - 55.9 Cm
Seat Tube Range CC 58.4 - 58.9 Cm
Seat Tube Range CT 60.1 - 60.6 Cm
Stem Length 10.5 - 11.1 Cm
BB Saddle Position 77.6 - 79.6 Cm
Saddle Handlebar 55.9 - 56.5 Cm
Saddle Setback 7.7 - 8.1 Cm
Seatpost Type Setback

I don't have any experience with riding road bikes, but looking to move to road from my hybrid... tired of beating the headwinds head on Most rides are in the 12-25 mi range on long country roads around here.

Main concern is if the frame is too large for me or not. I'm ok on the old clear the bar for clearance, Clarence, but I know you all have more mystical ways of devising sizing than that.
Looking at Bianchi's geometry, I would be more concerned about the top tube being too long than seat tube length. The 59cm frame has top tube length of 57.5 which is almost 2cm longer than the CC fit calculator recommends. That means you will have to get short stem or riding stretched out. Being new to road bike and coming from upright riding position of hybrid, I think your back may not like that.
