I had one shipped to Adelaide. No probs. It came in two large boxes and had been fully pre-assembled and adjusted before they boxed it up. THere was even air in the tyres so I was riding literaly 20 minutes after un-packing it.

I think you sit in the middle of large or XL. Make your choice and don't look book. Either choice would be OK for this type of bike.

I think you should be fine on the Large size, the XL will likely be too high on the stand over height.

55cm. The 52 would be just a fraction too small.

I'm 168cm tall - do I go for the 49cm or 52cm version?

Given your height I would suggest the 49cm. Usually we would need your inside leg measurement as well so if you wish you can e-mail in to Sales@wiggle.co.uk who will confirm the size required given both measurements.

I'm 5'10 so was thinking the 50 cm evil and the 52 cm focus would be for me. Am i right?
Thanks very much

Close but perhaps the other way round. I would recommend the 50cm Focus and 52cm Evil Resident.

Question
adding mudgards and paniers
someone asked this question, but it remained unanswered. This is also important to me as I'd like to commute when wet. The description says "...wanted to make some bikes that suit the ridiculously wet and cra**y streets.." however, it seems that there's no protection against getting the street dirt all over yourself when that happens.
My concern is that, from the picture, it looks like the rear wheel is so close to the stem that there's no space to put in a mudguard. And picture is too coarse to see if there are holes that are needed to put in a rack that will carry a panier bag.
One last question: I'm 192cm tall (6'4") so what would be the right size of bike for me?
Thanks

You would need to use Clip on mudguards as the frame does not feature the required mounts for conventional guards or a rack. You would require the 58cm frame which is unfortunately no longet available.

This bike has disc brakes and does not feature any rack/mudguard eyelets. You will need to use a clip on mudguard set such as the Zefal Sheilds linked below. For a rack I would recommend a seatpost mounted rack as linked below.
This bike uses Shimano Alfine hydraulic disc brakes. I didn't get any documentation about them with the bike, so I'm not sure how to choose disc brakes that would fit. Do you know any that are currently in stock on Wiggle that would be compatible with this?

The Alfine disc brakes use a XT/XTR style pad such as thos linked below.
Bar ends on this bicycle are fastened to the handle bar with a long screw. After unscrewing it, I tried removing the bar end, but it wouldn't move a bit. I'm afraid to apply some larger force for for the fear of breaking it. Any suggestions?

If you mean the bar end plug you will probably find that it is a tight fit and the screw tightens the bung on the inside of the end cap. You may need to help the bung out with a screwdriver but you will have to be very careful not to mark the bar.
