Not sure about your inside leg guide. Its one of the odder pieces of advice given on this site .
May I suggest the following?
I have an 81" inside leg, which I measure from crotch bone to heel. Your saddle height, measured from the centre of the bottom bracket axle to the top of the saddle, should be that measurement less 10cm , give or take a few mm.
That give me a 54cm frame ( C to C ) for racing and a 56cm ( C to C ) for Touring.My saddle height is 70.5 ish
As important as frame size, measured as the seat tube , is the top tube length . This is ought to be the same as the saddle tube and a bit more for a tourer.
