Effective top tube (ETT) length is what you want to focus on. I'd say go for the 55 or 58 depending on what sort of riding position you want and your cycling inseam. The 58cm will give you more adjustability in terms of bar height relative to the seat. Just make sure the standover height on the 58cm isn't taller than your cycling inseam measurement. The 55cm with a 130-140mm stem will place the bars lower and give you a position that is very close to your 21" Coda.

Then I would get the 58cm. Basically this is what it refers to. Although with sloping top tubes it's a little more complicated. Not sure if 32" is your pant inseam or cycling inseam. If it's your pant inseam standover height shouldn't be an issue on the larger 58cm.

What is the standover height on the two sizes? If the 58 is going to fit like a thong, it's the wrong size. If it has 1", it may be fine. The next measurement to consider is the effective top tube length, ie reach. It can be hard guessing between two sizes. I think the general wisdom is to prefer smaller of two sizes. That's why buying locally has fewer issues.
