The Speeders are good bikes, we tested the T3 (review at http://road.cc/content/review/1205-merida-speeder-t3) and liked it. They're surprisingly big; I was riding the 55.5cm frame without any problems and I'm 6'3". There's a 58cm too which I suspect would just about be okay for you, but it's certainly worth trying one if you can. I'm not guaranteeing it'd fit you but i wouldn't be surprised.
If you have a 38" inside leg then it sounds like you're long in the leg, even for your height. That being the case you'll probably need to run plenty of seatpost on whatever you ride, which may make the front position of a bike that's otherwise the right size a bit low. this can easily be remedied with a higher rise stem though.
