Would you, in my shoes: order the 53cm or 56cm?
ETA: The LBS doesn't have either a 53 or 56cm model in stock for me to try out.
I'm not sure I can Help you out. I am 5'10" so pretty much same height, I trust my bike shop and have purchased a few bikes over the years from them. They set me up on the 56cm. I personally felt like it was to big (Tall). Then again I came from a Trek X-Cal 8. I wound up talking to the bike shop owner and he let me return the bike since I only road it once for a short distance. I felt at home on a 2018 Trek FX S 4 and now takes up the spot the Zektor 3 did at home.
Sorry if I can't be much help
