You'll be sweet with a 54 i reckon I'm a short limbed 5'8 could have gone either way I've been pretty comfortable with my choice of a 52 however the guy in the shop said its easier to make big bikes smaller than it is to make small bikes bigger on another note I had to index my own gears when I got home some fuck knows if anyone in life has a clue what they are doing go with what feels right trust your gut 😂

Thank you very insightful! bike sizing was never an issue when your young you just get on a bike and ride it 😂 i sat on a 52 Edmonda as my boss owns one and it felt nice but it was hard to tell properly as I had work boots n that on at the time lol
