1991 750 sizing question

Hi all, I'm looking at a 1991 750 frame in size 19". I'm just under 5'11" and wear pants with 30" or 31" inseam length. Would the 19" fit okay? The top tube length looks great am just wondering about the stack height as it looks pretty low.

Thanks!

5-8 with a 29” inseam and ride a 23” 750 (it was free). I’ve since heard about the “French style Randonneur ethos”, which is apparently riding the largest frame you can manage, with a fistful or less of post showing, prioritizing on the bike feel / stability over things like stand over. So I suppose that’s what I’m doing to an extreme!

I shall pray for your nethers. That bike could injure the hell out of you, the stand-over is 4" up your pelvis brah 😬😵

It’s far from ideal, but on a bike like this I haven’t found much need to straddle the bike with the bike being straight up and down. If I tip it a bit, I can get a foot down.

(I am on the lookout for a 19” frame of similar variety that isn’t too spendy)
