I am 5'8"
Wouldn't a larger frame have a longer top tube which would exacerbate my existing condition of having the reach feel too long?
I haven't measured the bike pictured but the frame feels about the same step-over height of my Specialized Langster which I know to be 54cm; which is a consensus good size (based on several sizing charts/etc) for someone of my height/32" inseam
I am open to selling this bike and getting a different size frame but I do prefer to err on a shorter frame because I ride in the city where you're on and off the pedals frequently so lower stand over is a little more comfy... if that makes ANY sense....
