You might do fine on a 56cm - but try both to be sure.
Incidentally, I did my first commute back and forth to work today - just over 30 miles, and I highly recommend this bicycle.
Great commute!! Are there many hills in your route? Are you stretched out on the hoods? I assume that you used the 42X16-SS instead of the fixed.
Here in Athens I’ve a few hills to deal with during my commute. I’ve got a Olmo Pista with a 42X15 fixed and have no problem riding other than dodging the Ohio University Students during class breaks. It’s amazing, they look right at you and still walk right in front of you then are startled.
This is one of the reasons that I’m interested in the 925 SS, BRAKES!
What do you really like about the 925, the handling?
