Some sub-6 footer on here somewhere was speculating that 56 would be too small for him. You say that you're 5'9" or 5'10" - ergo, I don't see that 56 is significantly large for someone of 5'9" or 5'10" in height?
Sorry - I'm a bit obsessed with bike size/height ratios, so always feel the need to stick my beak in when the subject comes up.
NB. If you like the bike, then why not take the money and be done with it? True, that front wheel is more than 'slightly' out of true, but principles-shminciples; don't cut off your nose to spite your face - it won't be your reputation that's taken a hit.
