So the Moser is longer than the sled (if 51 refer to the top tube).
Obviously I have no idea how you fit on the sled, but generally flat bar bicycles are usually longer in the top tube to compensate for the lack of brake hood that lengthened the reach more.
Ideally, it should be the other way round.
E.g, I fit a 54cm top tube with drop bar, with flat bar it's 57cm.
My suggestion - go to a chain bike shop that have a range of road bike to try out, test ride them a couple of them in different sizes, see which one felt more comfortable, then write the size, make and model to get the size chart and compare it to the Moser.
