Online there's a Bianchi Alloro 16 speed.

They say the frame measures as 51cm and that the stand over height is 78cm (30.7in).
I just measured my height and I'm 5' 7 3/4", my inseam is a little over 31.5"
Should I worry that the frame is too small? It seems like it'd be a good fit but I'd like to see what someone else thinks.

The bid starts at $499.

Nice bike at a great price. Your legs are WAY to long to ride a 51 cm. I'm about a 1/2 inch taller than you, but with shorter legs (30 inch inseam pants leg). My 51cm seat tube Bianchi Campione is too small for me, but I don't care. I lifted the seat post, raised the stem using a hybrid stem and ride it anyway. Why? Cause I love it. But, you need to be aware, it's going to be too small.

Very likely too small. And is that inseam a pant inseam, or your bicycle inseam? If you are not sure, google bicycle inseam and sizing. Price doesn't really matter much at this point, as that is the opening bid??

I ride a 53cm Mercier right now, the stand over is 31.5", and there's just a little extra room for me.
Yeah, that's the opening bid.. I know it'll go up, and I was prepared for that. But it doesn't matter at this point because I'd like to find something that would fit better.
