I am about a quarter inch taller than you, but with shorter legs. I think the 51 is a size larger than what you'll likely fit best. My previous road bike was a 2010 Synapse 48cm and was a good fit. I would not have wanted to go bigger. For you to fit the 51 you'll likely need a really short stem, which could make your bike handling less than ideal.
