I can not compare my other bikes because it's a racer.
I'm 174 cm tall (5 ft 9in) and inseam length 80 cm (2 ft 7 in)
The model I have looked at is a Salsa Marrakesh flat bar
I also emailed Salsa for advice and they recommend medium.
On your racer, measure the horizontal distance from center of seatpost to the center of where you normally grip the handlebar (typically the hoods position on drop bars). From this you can better approximate fit on the Marrakesh Flat Bar (Small vs Medium), at least as a starting point.
In USA we can buy Marrakesh only directly from local bicycle shop. If this is the case in Sweden, where I presume you are going to buy the bike, then the bike shop should be willing and able to help you approximate proper fit easier, quicker and likely with better result than we can achieve over the internet. Visit your bike shop and get help. LLAP.
