To the Original Poster, go to:

And run through the online fit processes...

The calculators will also recommend stem length based on frame size with your body measurement inputs

Both fit calculators indicate my 5' 11" /32" inseam should be riding a 53 to 55.5 frame, with 54 being a best all around and a 53 for a Racing fit. This also correlates well with 2 custom builders I have been measured at, they also place me on a 54 cm frame, 55cm for a touring upright ride.

Good Bike fit also requires that you educate yourself somewhat, rather than placing 100% stock in internet forum blathering (mine included)
