5'11"-6' on a 57 frame sounds small to me let alone a 54.
In my younger days I was all about being stretched out like the Italian pros but these days I like to sit up and see whats going on.
The saddle height is about the same as 25+ years ago but the stem is much more upright.
The stem on this one is just a touch too tall, but comfy. This bike was squired in 2009
