Wait...had the discussion moved on?
IDK but I will post what I run
180 cm tall, 34.5 in pbh/cycling inseam, 182-183 wingspan. I run around 78cm from center of bb to top of seat. I tend to prefer my seat a little more forward then center on many bikes.
I prefer a standard vintage bar, with a 100-120mm stem and a 56-58 top tube. 56 tt's get 120's.
Just like you a 58 needs a longer seatpost, where as a 60 or 62 I can run short vintage posts like 200's.
63.5cm frames put the bars a little high, but those bikes can be crazy deals and I ride them fine, no major contact with the gonads if i wear shoes.
I have ridden 56cm bikes and I can sometimes get by with a max extension stem, but that requires the right headtube length/steerer tube length.
