I'm 6'2 and ridden several different makes and different sizes in each. Trek i fit in a 57. Ridden a 60cm Lemond Zurich and felt great. It's gonna vary. That said, you bike DOES sound small.

6'0" tall 31-32 inseam but long torso and arms. I was on a 56 frame, but felt that the top tube (56 cm) was too short even with a 130 stem. I just bought a 57 cm frame (56.5 top tube) and the larger frame allows me to lower the bar height for a more stretched out and comfy position. The early impression on the 57 (85 miles so far) is that it's a perfect fit.

It's important to note that there are more factors to an ideal fit than seat tube length. Lance Armstrong is 5'10" and he rides a 58 cm Trek, while Alessandro Petacchi is 6'1" and he rides a 54 cm Pinarello (silly long 58.5 top tube though). You have to try different brands to find the one with the most suitable geometry. Then tweak it with the ideal seat position and stem height/length.

Default Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)

187 cm (6'2'')
inseam ~93 cm (~36.5'') in normal underwear not padded cyclingshorts.
60 cm c-t Trek 1400 frame

The 63 cm frame would perhaps be a better fit but there was a sale and 60 was the biggest they had. The seatpost is far out although not all the way to the max line. But the reach is fine and the bar height is good to. A 63 cm frame wouldn't show as much post but then I'd probably need a 2 cm shorter stem.
