+1. I'm also 6' and for me (and I think most others this height) the sweet spot is around 23" or 57-58cm. A 56 or a 60 might work, but on the smaller ones with stock quill stems you may find you need the bars too low. Also the medium sized frames tend to come with slightly shorter cranks, which compounds the fit issue.

Agree the Miyata looks sweet.
