I have a 54cm Hunq. My PBH is 84cm, and I am just shy of 5' 10". The stand-over on the Hung was a little tight with 2.1" tires, but okay with 38mm Little Big Bens. I have mustache bars on an 80mm dirt drop stem. The bike is very comfortable, although initially I had some concern that the top tube might be too long. I've on had it for two months and have just been riding it around town, but tomorrow I'm doing a 30+ mile ride on a rail trail which is more like what it is made for.
I'm in my mid-60s and not as limber as I used to be. I like a relatively short TT and short stem extension. YMMV. Sounds like you might be in that frustrating place between a 51 and a 54cm Hunq. I bought my bike used and didn't an option to get a 51, but the 54 is working okay for me. For reference, I ride a 57cm Bleriot, a 56cm Atlantis (26" wheels) and a 58cm Rambouillet. I have thousands of miles on those bikes and they all seem to fit me.
