I think that this bike is a little too small for you. I am 6 feet tall and normally ride a 58cm bike. Unless your legs are really short, I think that you should look for a larger bike. If you are looking for a bike, I suggest that you visit your local bike shop (LBS) and get a fitting before you purchase a bike. It will save you a lot of pain and frustration, and possibly dropping the sport.
