This is the Big Shot Mini Polo Bike, it's says from 5' to 6'2

And this : https://respectcycles.com/on-sale-no...ban-mini-velo/
This one it does mention up to 6'3
They are both single speed.
Btw very beautiful bike Chaadster, do you use it only for commuting? and Do you feel comfortable with it?
As you mentioned, SS, so not good for 120m rides. Tho' you could lace a wider range IGH in the back wheel. Polo & Mercier might be workable for your height, but I'd have to caution against the Respect. You'll notice on their website they kind of avoid showing regular pictures with riders aboard, instead doing a lot of angle shots. It's because that bike is tiny. I built my own mini-velo, using a 26" tire FGFS bike from Pure Fixie. It had a high enough BB that I was easily able to run the 175 cranks on it.
I'd check out something like this....
