Thanks for the replies, part of the problem is i can't even try the bike to see if it does fit.
and this is why...

Yep that's the bike and this would be the first time ordering from such a place. It's kind of like ordering something from behind a curtain. The only reason i can see to order off the net is to try to save a few bucks of course.
i like the bike as far as imagination serves; but the only size left is 58cm.
Horse of a different color entirely. Everyone has been assuming a sloping top tube like most modern bikes. This one really does have a 58 cm seat tube. If a 56cm sloping top tube bike fits you, this one is going to be very different.
They have other bikes, keep looking or wait for this year's models. The price really won't be all that different.
