Hey Eric, You may recall that my numbers are just a couple inches more than yours and I own/owned an XL/60cm Gus and a 59 Susie. I would comfortably recommend either one of those larger sizes for you, especially if you are riding Jones bars. I know you already know this, but it's worth mentioning that your riding posture will be much different from your Jones LWB, with it's tight cockpit. They are great rides! Al
