I'm 6'1", have long legs and a short torso and ride a 56 cm Specialized Tarmac. I think the long seat post looks awesome .

The guy at the LBS said the top tube on Specialized road bikes are typically longer than those found on other bikes, so I'd say the Trek 60 cm might be a good choice.

However, like others said, go get a fit. It was the best thing I've ever done . I bought my bike based on intuition, but when I was measured and numbers were crunched, the size was verified. Bike fittings are very good things.
