I thinkt ehy mean that these are 4700 (the latest) Tiagra shifters, which makes me think some of the othr Tiagra gear is 4600.
These Bike Island bikes are scratch-and-dent bikes from Bikes Direct---one size only, maybe be some minor defects or missing some parts. it sounds like this one was cobbled together with whatever parts where on the shelf, some 4700, some 4600, and some 5800.
I was actually looking for this bike on BD's site because I own a version of it and can personally recommend it. But ... it is only available in 54 cm. That should fit a wide range of riders ... but not everyone. I could ride it---in fact it would fit better than mine, and I rode mine most fo the way across the U.S. in 2015.
If it even close to correct size, I'd say, Jump on it. This is a very good basic bike.
