I'm 6'2" with a 32" inseam (long torso). My bikes run to larger frame sizes. The smallest is 58cm with a longer stem. The biggest comfortable bike is 63cm with a 100mm stem. I built a 64cm frame up with a 120mm stem. It's big and the stretches me out some - but it has caused pain/numbness in my hands. If I keep the bike I'll have to substitute a stem/handlebar combination that is adjustable so I can shorten the reach and raise the bar level.
