I'm 6'3" and my old fashioned horizontal top tube frame is 25" seat tube , I think, which is about 60cm. My other bike is approximately the same dimensions but I don't know the official size.
6ft 3 on a 57cm frame

I believe its the seat tube measurement that is 57cm. Its a Raleigh clubman bike. I guess the top tube/reach could be more important. Sounds like it might beworth a test ride.[/QUOTE]
Depending on the age of the bike, but wiggle show the 57cm seat tube one as having a 54cm TT. It'll be too small. I'm 5'10 and ride 54cm TTs

It's very probably too small for you.

Here for rides.
6' 2" and riding 60 and 62 these days. Old skool innit. Flat top tube and as little as possible seat post showing. Reasonably, but not ridiculously, short stem. Works for my body form but one man's meat, as they say...

6 feet 5 1/2 inches tall. Both of my bikes are 60cm and are comfortable for long distances. Anything smaller wouldn't feel right for me.

Probably too small...... but.
I'm 6'2 (but with comparatively short legs/long body) and normally ride a 58 perfectly happily.
However I had to order a new bike sight unseen (GT Grade, it was a competition prize) and after looking at the geometry (including standover height) I chose the 56. It's pretty much bang on.
If I'd gone with the 58 it would have been too big, and there would NOT have been any clearance.

I think it's liable to be a bit on the small side.

I'm 6'5" and my CAAD10 frame is 60cm, but Cannondale tend to be slightly longer in the top tube than other brands and I've fitted a slightly longer stem as well to get the fit how I like it.
Retro road bikes I've had have varied from 61 to 64cm, make of that what you will
All in all I think it could be made to fit but I would agree that it will probably be a touch small as it is.

Which is like saying that having shoes that are too big is better than having shoes that are too small. ie. Slightly less sh!t.
