I was just going to question the size. I'm 6'1" as well and ride a 59cm.

The way I check the seat hight is when the pedals are at 12 and 6, and the 6 oclock leg is slightly bent, if I push my heal down as far as it will go it should lock my knee. I use this when I set up my bikes and also when I go to spinning classes at the gym. It seems to work since I have never had any knee pain or discomfort. Just my 2 cents.
