That's very nice. Have sent a couple of questions regarding height and gearing.

It's a 12 speed which worries me a little as it's a lot of hills around by me. I'm not that experienced with bikes but that could cause a few problems I believe?

Depending upon the style of rear hub you should be able to get a wider ratio rear cog set which would help .

Interesting frame; the seat tube looks like a very relaxed angle, which differs considerably from the head tube angle. Possibly designed for someone with unusually long arms?

Just a frameset and bars plus crankset - appears to be a 531 Claud Butler - for a tenner start:
