I don’t think anyone can give you a very helpful answer without seeing your position on your current bike.

That being said, I’m having trouble wrapping my head around someone 6’4 riding a 57cm frame.

I”m 6’1”, and fit fine on a TCR XL setup with 4-5” of drop seat to bars and plenty of rom for more.

Unless you have gorilla arms, or are running an insane amount of drop from seat to bars, going down a frame size seems like it would be a difficult fit.

Again hard to sat without pics though
