noodle bar won't work, the reach is a lots longer on them than a compact drop bar whose reach tend to be quite short.
Get a smaller frame, do exactly what rab said, go to a (reputable) bicycle shop, try different sizes, see which one have the right feel, then measure the TT horizontally centre to centre.
Then get a frame in a similar size to the one you've tried.
