My TT bike is a 56cm. On the other hand my Merlin is a 59cm.
You just have to try it out and see if it works for you.
That said, abike that doesn't fit, is not a bargain.
+1, I've got a Giant CF bike. I'm 5'8 and ride a 52cm frame. A true late model Giant 56 cm frame should be just about right for someone who is 6'1". But at $150 for a CF bike, something doesn't compute. Either it's stolen or it's an ancient POS with a cracked frame that's ready to break on your first ride. IMHO proceed with caution.
