60 X 58cm has always been my size. When I wanted to ride the classic vintage euro bikes, my patience required I accept a range of sizes to obtain the bikes I wanted. So, my group runs from 58cm - 62 seat tubes. The 58cm bikes will be the first to go.
So I guess I would size up - but top tube length, stem length, seatpost set back, handlebar dimensions, and the specific saddle all play into making the fit a perfect dream. Or not.
Since this thread came up again and needs pics, here are the largest and smallest frames that I ride regularly.
The AustroDaimlers are 62.5X59 ctc
The Bottecchia is 58X57
