Also, thoughts on this one, "Miele 12 seed bicyle" ad 1515408805
I think you need to measure yourself first and determine approximate frame size. I am ~5'10 and comfortable on 54 to 58 cm frames, can make 60-62 work with more of the French fit or shorter stem, etc. My fav size is 56 or so.
The frames you were posting are all on the big size and I think that's what Miele Man had in mind when posting his suggestions.
Once you know the size - just look for the picture of the similar sized bikes and see several in person. While not foolproof method - it will train you to do a ballpark sizing by looking at pic.

Sizing is another can of worms (french fit, eddie fit, etc) and each body is unique but just ballparking for your height - 54-56 is what I would look for.
