I suspect too small unfortunately. Especially since I think this frame was designed around handlebar height being around saddle height with the saddle only extended out of the frame a few inches. I tend to have a saddle height around 31.5-32" from crank center to saddle. I am oddly shaped and even over years of experimentation don't know "what's my size". My main bike is 25.5" x 23" or so and doesn't feel long enough. I was given a 27" x 24" Schwinn which I thought would be way too large (this is why it was free) but so far it's comfortable I know head tube and seat tube angles are significant here as well. I imagine 25 x 23.5 would be very nice.

I have had a couple very nice 56-60cm bikes come through my hands that I just couldn't make work. If I came across this bike complete somewhere I'd have to try to make it work before deciding if it fit, but I don't think building it up is wise for me.

browngw's lovely Sun makes it tempting anyway though!
