Best to ask Thorn and give them your standover height.
I am your height and went for a 535L Raven Tour and now Sport Tour with flat bars and a relatively long stem. The nearest new raven size is 530. If you have long legs relative to your height you might go for the next size up.

To determine your inner leg length, stand up straight against a wall, clasp a thin hardcover book (coffee table books are good) between your thighs, shove it up as far as it goes, and have someone else measure from the floor to the top of the book.

Inner leg lenght properly is it with or without shoes ?
My inner leg lenght is around 82 cm (32") without shoes...
Also ma choice will be probably a confort bar not a flat bar...

Without shoes. Thorn gives you more information than any other manufacturer but you need to go get it. The MEGA brochure is good. Download it at
http://www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/THORN_MEGA_BROCHURE.pdf
and find the barefoot information on page 54, and your posture, which I was referring to in relation to your handlebar choice, on p55. I was just saying flat bar as a general term for anything that isn't drop bars.
Good luck.
