While you're at it, sit on a couple of their bikes and get an idea of exactly what size you're looking for.

It's all good to save some money by buying a used bike on line, but if it doesn't fit and isn't comfortable, you won't ride it and the money will be wasted.
At this point, I'm less worried about fit than I am about feel and value. The 56 cm frame seems pretty perfect for me, being that I'm 5'10. I did the fit calculator for another Wilier bike from the top of this page, and confirmed the sizing.

If the bike feels right in person, I just want to make sure I'm getting good value for money, since it is used. Wilier bikes seem extremely difficult to pin down pricing on, especially entry level models from years past.
