Probably a 56-57cm frame is my guess - but the camera angle's a bit weird, so not super sure.
Seems fine overall, if it's your size - if you're willing to put in $50-100 for a new seat, and maybe $50 for a new stem if the current one's too long or too short, should be a fine bike.
If anything, those look like they might be GP5000, which means you're getting $100 worth of tires right off the bat if nothing else works out!
The bike is upside down, that's why it looks weird.

can i replace the 105's in case of a problem?

Otherwise, seems like a steal!
Those bikes in a used-bikes shop come from Belgium.. i can't check the serial number.
