how tall are you Redbeard?
It's a similar company: ROSE. rosebikes.co.uk
are you buying a Canyon per chance?
Based on the top tube, Id say the larger of the options as it matched your existing closest. Youc an always put a seat post up but theres only so much you can add in a stem.
I ordered my new bike in much the same way but I used measurements form ground as they are more relevant. I actually bought a small frame where I was riding a large as I needed a slightly shorted top tube, seemed really small at the time but its paid off...no more lower back pain.
I used an app called size my bike and it created a sound base that pointed out what I knew, that my frame was too long for me, but it also suggested a starting point that made me realise i should look at smaller frames so its fairly good.
Looks like your existing frame is a lot mroe upright and the new one more racing designed but its meaurements from the ground that will tell you that. Only thing that remains fixed is top tube and seat tube, the rest are design.
Based on that, If your legs are ok with reaching the little bit further, I'd go with the 59 and then get a slightly shorter stem, maybe a 75mm. Unsure about spacers though
