Dodici sizing help

So i plan on buying a Dodici Veloce and according to the customer rep I need get a 49, which is there smallest size. But I find that a little hard to believe. I'm 5 foot 8 inches with an inseam of 30. I ride a 53cm Bianchi Pista and fits me perfectly. I was wondering if anyone who rides a Dodici can help me with sizing.

Yeah I've been talking to him. How tall are you and what's your inseam? Also how's the bike?
