WIth a dropped top tube, you could go to the larger size to give you the longer length from seat to head tube. THe shops all want to force you into a compact frame. They recommended a 53cm for me and I bought a 55cm and still have decent 2-feet on the ground stand over. I am 5'8.5" with a 30" inseam.
