Ribble Audaux sizing help

I am 6'1", long legs compared to torso.
Currently ride a 56cm CAAD9 which is a sweet fit for me. 11cm stem.
I am looking at the ribble audaux and am a little unsure as to sizing. It looks like they measure top-tube from the front of the seat tube to center of head tube... so a 58cm which says it has a 56.3 top tube, looks like the actual top tube would be more like 57cm (getting a bit long for me).
The size down then has a very low 13cm head tube...
Any ideas?
On a side note, can anyone recommend a cheap frame that can take guards with similar geometry to a CAAD9?
Thanks

You want the 60cm Ribble Audax- no question.
I am 6' with 34/35" inside leg and this is the size that fits me. Top tube is 57cm.head tube 17.5cm.
Do you have flexibility problems as a 56cm t/tube with 11cm stem sounds a bit short for someone of your height?
Top tube measurements are always centre to centre btw. Even with these frames.0 -
