If it fits, it fits. However, I am 6’0” tall, 33” inseam, 78” arm span and all my current bikes are 55 cm or 56 cm. I have owned and ridden a few 57 cm and 58 cm frames but they have proven too large for me, even when adapting them with zero offset seatposts, short stems and short reach handlebars. Smaller frames can be adapted to fit a larger person. Too large a frame cannot be made to fit too small a person. Also, smaller frames are lighter.
