Seat tube angle on that is pretty steep iirc, 74 degrees. If you need a decent amount of setback, the bars are going to be a long, long way away as it’s built for someone who runs a normal saddle to bar reach but with very minimal setback (74deg plus inline post).

@jupiz ah cheers. Frame angles 74 degrees & 74.5 degrees it says on the advert. Also:
Seat tube, centre of BB to very top of tube = 63.0cm
Seat tube, centre to centre = 60.5cm
Top tube, centre to centre = 60.5cm
Head tube measured inside inner edge of headset cups/outside outer edge = 19.7cm/22.7cm
Chain stay, centre to centre = 41.0cm
Seat stay, centre to join with seat tube = 55.0cmHow do I know if I need a decent amount of setback? Does it being built for someone who runs minimal setback mean they have relatively short legs? Might try and organise a test ride when the rules/ my personal circumstances allow it

There is this massive Mercian pro lugless 725 f+f only on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCIAN-hand-built-63cm-Reynolds-725-steel-bike-frame/265011718604?hash=item3db3ede9cc:g:TH0AAOSwJB1f1kO3
This is the 3rd time it has been up with no drop in price.
Does anyone have one?
Could be a good deal if I could snag it for 400 ish? 725 rather than 853/853 oversized (not techy so probably wouldn't notice this)
I'm 6ft4, never had a bike fit, usually just buy an XL. So not sure on size
