Would the size 60 mash be too big for me? All my bikes are 58s wich Im perfectly fine with. I could get a used mash but its a size 60 and a bit too far for me to just drive down and test out.

Unless you’ve got some long ass legs I wouldn’t bother. I’m an inch shorter than you and I’m usually the most comfy on a 56 bike. Had something that was 59 for a bit but never wanted to get on it, would opt for the smaller bike every time.
Riding a bike too big is the worst feeling in the world. Would rather have a size too small and work around it.
Don’t listen to anyone online regarding bike fit. I’ve sold to and met enough people from this world to know that people don’t know, or aren’t honest about their own height. And I’ve seen enough fits here to know many ride the wrong sized bike and have no idea about what a decent fit is.
Fit will have quite a few things to consider: seat tube and top tube lengths, head tube length, head tube and seat tube angles (the more aggressive, the “longer” the effective TT), reach and stack height. That doesn’t include your own personal body measurements, flexibility, fitness, or even ideal riding position.
Easiest way, would be to find a bike that you know fits well and obsess over the measurements and then compare those to the bike on question. If you don’t have any of this info, you might make the investment and get a basic bike fitting.
My opinion, is that might be a bit large for you. I personally am the same height, with longish arms, and find a 60cm in most modern geo bikes to be too large. That being said, without any measurements, this is all speculation.
Good luck!
Go get on the bike bro!
Too big, will feel unwieldy to control.
Yeap, try it out 1st. The human body comes in all shapes, 6’1 person A can be wildly different from 6’1 person B. Longer or shorter arms, different inseam and so on. Also, its a low pro style pursuit frame and they can be a bit tricky with the weird geometry.
