First Road bike

Hi all,
I'm going to be getting my first Road bike at the end of April.
I am just under 6"5, have an inside leg of just under 34" and a negative arm span.
The bike I'm looking at is from wiggle so can't try before I buy unfortunately, just wondering if there was anyone who could validate that I'm not buying a completely unsuitable bike, the sizing guide seems to indicate the bike is fine, but I get a bit lost when it comes to understanding how my reach will affect it.
The bike I'm looking at is this

Any comments would be really appreciated

With odd sizes I'd reccomend buying from a shop and trying the fit first.Advocate of disc brakes.0

looks a reasonable bike.... although personally I would avoid mechnical disc brakes
but I really would get yourself to a local shop or decathlon and swing your leg over a few, a lower spec bike that fits will be much more fun ....0 -
Thanks for the advice guys, what brakes do you recommend?0
