Yep -- I'm 6'0" also, with a 32" inseam, and I prefer medium frames. My Giant Roam is a large frame, but I'd probably buy it in medium if I did it again. Giant frames seem to be a bit longer than other brands, and my Large Roam has a 24.0" effective top tube, which is probably too long for me (and I've installed a shorter/higher stem on it to compensate). When I bought my Redline Zander, I bought a medium frame (17" nominal). Despite the short seat tube, it still has a longer effective top tube than my Roam! So I've installed a shorter stem on this bike also, and I just have a long seat post on it.
Total rider height and even inseam are generally not good indicators of bike fit. You really need to ride it.
