Depending on how high the rider puts their seat in relation to the bars, how long the seat post is, the angle of the TT, length of crank arms etc... that may make a difference - or not.

As it is, seeing as it's cheap and the OP wants the components, he could buy the bike even if it didn't eventually fit, swap all the components onto his current ride and probably still sell the other bike at a profit.

And along the way see if the second bike actually fits.
true enough the 54 could be way to big then again the 49 could be way to small i'm guessing Small he will knacker his back been there .but your right buy the bike strip it down sell the frame can't loose as long as he gets a buyer.
