Nashbar touring frame size.

Nashbar has there touring frames discount priced and have only three sizes available as I am writing this. 50, 52, and 54. In my bare feet my floor to pelvic measurement is 31.5 inches or 80 cm. I did my body measurements and calculations here.

According to the calculations for a touring frame I should by the 50 cm frame. I was thinking the 52 cm frame would be about right as I ride a 54 cm road bike frame and I've read several threads that you should order a frame 2 cm smaller than your standard road bike. I don't really need one but $140 sure makes it tempting. I would really like to get the correct size frame, of course! Any comments would be appreciated.
