Your 35" pants inseam is more a 37"-38" crotch to floor inseam. A 62cm frame at least. The Dawes is a road geometry frame. Go for it and have fun. You may want to look at the Motobecane Messenger from BD, as it comes with brakes and a freewheel. Buyer beware, you need to an adequate bike mechanic before you buy anything from BD. Expect to replace the bottom bracket within a month after you start riding the bike.
