This is what I want to hear. I am OK with fiddling around with stem length/spacers for a while to figure it out until it gets comfortable.
Going off topic, I've just noticed that Chain Reaction have a Vitus Razor for £390, which seems to be comparable spec to the Triban 520 so I'll be musing over the merits of those this afternoon.

Frame look pretty similar, the women version quite likely to have a slightly taller headtube than the similar sized Triban.
Look like it have similar amount of clearance for large tyres too.

The Cube Peleton is a very very good bike for the money (slightly cheaper than the Vitus) and the geometry have the headtube length of a 56cm bike but the reach of a 54cm (the 53cm model).

No mudguard mount thought.

A smaller bike can be made to fit a larger person a lot easier than the other way round.
