I've measured my bicycles and I know what the length of my top tube needs to be for me to feel comfortable on a bicycle. Have you checked that with this bicycle you're considering?
^This.
Top tube length is the biggest factor in a good fit, because it's the least conducive to adjustment. There's not much else you can do besides messing around with different sized stems; everything else on a bike can be adjusted for any fit you want.
