I'm a hair shy of 5'11 and am on a 56cm Cannondale.
People's shapes vary, but that bike is probably just right for you -- with a normal stem -- unless you have unusually long/short arms/legs.
I'd buy this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-...sAAOSwrfFdq11g and center the seat and go from there.
(Obviously, the stem hasn't got to be a Cannondale one, but that one will fit and will get you to baselineon the bike, fit-wise.)

Had the matching rear wheel, but kept snapping spokes. She’s not the prettiest but gets the job done.

I was going to say hot until I saw the hideous RD cage and jockey wheel. That thing is SRAM ugly! Still a decent looking bike, though.

Hot, but I'd tidy up that DI2 wire on the front of the bike and level out the saddle.

Updated the Propel to all R8000 and R9100 except pedals/shifters. Loving the HED 6+ wheels on it. Fast and smooth on 23/25 tire combo. Camera is crap to see it but the chain is a KMC gold.

On the fence about this one. It has nothing to do with the setup, rather the paint job. Hot, but I think it would be a whole lot hotter if the rear triangle was red or the fork was white. One or the other. A red rear triangle I think.
