Probably not much help but I'm a shade over six foot and ride a Zero (2015 model) in M and an Equilibrium (2014 model) in 56, both with 110mm stems, 77cm BB centre to saddle top, and a 75mm saddle to bar drop as recommended by a fitter (probably more like 85mm these days as I've lost a couple of spacers, #pro). ETT on the Zero is 565mm, I think 560mm on the Equilibrium.
From the geo charts it looks like this year's models may have got slightly smaller as my Equilibrium (which they base the Flyer frame on) was 577 stack and 390 reach 2 years ago vs 579 and 385 this year.
I did have a bike fit and the fitter seemed to think that Genesis prefer to make bikes with longer TTs but tbh I don't see much difference with other brands.
As you can tell I'm a Genesis fanboy, love both of mine! Anyway, make what you will of all those numbers I've thrown at you :)

I'm considering getting a Flyer as a winter trainer, problem is that I cant work out the Geo. Genesis frames seem to come up quite small, is this vaguely correct?
A clubmate has a 2015 Cherry Red Flyer in 56 that I can try, but I worry that the TT will be far too short and the saddle bar drop too much. I'm struggling to work this out from the 2016 Flyer Geo chart on the website.
My concerns are that the saddle to bar drop will be too much on the 56, (I need 80.5 from BB centre to top of saddle) and a 57.5 TT.
My gut says wait and see if I can snag a 58.......but clubmates frame is cherry bomb.....
