    A sz 56 should do you. The best is to go to a bike shop and try them out :)

    56cm sounds about right. Just beware different manufactures measure a 56cm in varies ways that dont correspond to other 56cm lengths. Youtube and google is your friend for some research.

    FWIW I'm 5'10" with 31" trouser leg and 56 fits perfect. However don't just focus on the 56 bit - check out top tube length, stem etc to see what's comfortable
