So I have been riding a 54cm for the last 2 years and fighting with numbness and soreness in different parts of my body. When I change my set up to relieve something another problem pops up. Anyways I findally deceided to take my measurement with the help of Zinn's Book.

So back to the story, I take my measurements and find that I am a freak. Now I am a physical therapist so I know how to properly take body measurements and find landmarks. From school I have always known that I have a long torso and short legs but was amazed by my findings. I'll spit them out and see what you all think I should do...
-ps I CANNOT afford a custom bike, so that route is out of the question.
Inseam - 31.25 inches (79.38)
Torso + Inseam - 57.25 (145.42)
Arm - 22 (55.88)
Height - 5'9"
According to Zinn frame wise I "should" be riding around a 49cm. Ideal TT length should be 57ish to 58.5 with a 12ish stem.
What should I do????
