No idea on bike fit so could ask seller for his spec sheet and try compare?
I mean, if your proportions are reasonably standard, it looks as if that bike should fit, and if not quite, you could adapt it slightly. I was just saying that your height alone is not the only measurement you should consider.

@Skülly @Oliver Schick Cheers. No idea on bike fit so could ask seller for his spec sheet and try compare? And/or buy as cheaply as possible, get a bike fit on my current drop bar bike (xl genesis CDF) and see if it is workable. If so, stick with it/build it up and if not pass it on.
On a separate but similar note, I am restoring a 1958 Mercian Whitemeadows at the moment, posting pics on my CP thread but will post finished ones in here when done. Bob at Mercian is such a helpful guy. Way too small for me, but it was a good deal so went for it and been a good experience doing it up so far
