56cm/58cm at a guess, but try before you buy..

go to a shop and try some bikes - 56cm/58cm.

As ever, bike measurement is all about top tube length (plus stem length and handlebar type) rather than the nominal size. I fail to understand why bikes are specified in terms of the height of the top tube - the saddle does go up and down!
If you're unused to road bikes do get some first-hand fitting advice - a little bit out makes a big difference. Don't go too long is my advice.

Go to your LBS, ask their advice and try some different bikes.
