Look for track frames that are shorter in the top tube than you'd ride on the road.
Like this bad-boy?
It's a 56 top tube I take a 58 with a 130 stem on the road.
I'm about your height by the way.

Oh. Gears. :(
130mm is quite a long stem to be using with extensions, especially as a road frame will have a slacker head tube than a track frame.
But if you go much shorter in the top tube, you might struggle with the head tube being too short, unless you use stackable extensions, ie Zipp Vuka Alumina, 3T Ventus etc.

No idea, I'm afraid!
It's currently with Winston Vaz for some tweaks and I have asked him if he has any ideas.
I found this too long in the top tube for TT, so progressed to Yokel-Motion 2.0.
