You can probably find a 20" bike that feels comfortable.

I was generalizing and from what I've seen most riders over 6 ft prefer to ride 21-22 top tubes. 21" TT have become common even with short riders. I agree though, you should try to ride several frames with different top tubes before you make a large investment.
