I thought that was a joke for a moment. B1 is the dimension you should be paying attention to, otherwise know as "virtual" or "horizontal" dimension. Plus, I'd recommend selecting the race fit option rather than the Eddy fit on the size calculator. I think that would put you more in line with what works for the majority of people. It recommends a 55.6-56cm top tube for you. As was mentioned, that's a size or two down from the 59.

^^^^^^^I agree with this. It could be made to fit you, but on the extreme edge of being able to do so. That could make your good deal not that great after all... A 57 frame with a 110cm stem would get you placed comfortably on the bike with good latitude for fine tuning adjustment.

Good luck with your new bike!
