Kilo TT size

Im ordering my Mercier Kilo today, but im not too sure on what size to get. Im 6'2'' and I currently ride a bike that I would say would be about a 55. Its kinda small, so I could definetly use more room, but I dont want to order the bike and have to really stretch to reach the bars, or the ground. I was thinking a 57, but correct me if im wrong.


Thanks guys.

i am 6'2" and ride:
59cm surly steamroller
59cm kilo tt OS
58cm Leader 729TRK V2

I don't feel stretched and run 110mm stems on the kilo and steamroller with bullhorns and drops respectively
The leader isn't a good comparison as the stem is a freestyle short stem and the bike is set up for freestyle/more compact geometry.

hope this helps.
