I ended up with the 56cm frame. It fits me very well. (180cm (5'11') ; inseam 84cm (33'')).
I even put half of the spacers on the top to lower the handlebar a bit.
I haven't yet done very long rides but my frequently 30/40 km rides don't give me any pain (shoulders, back etc.);
my body seems to be quite happy with the geometry.
But well, size is always a personal thing, perhaps you can try out the 58cm frame somewhere.
