bike sizing help please

[samsbike]

Hi I have a 753 in a 52 c-c seat tube.

I am just under 6foot and have an inside leg of around 31.5.

I realise the bike is too small for me, but if I raise the stem about an inch and put a much longer seat post its ok.

I am torn between keeping it or selling to get a 56 or 58cm bike.

I absolutely love this bike and its lovingly re-built, its also as light as a feather.

What do you folks recommend I do.

Thanks

Personally I'd keep the bike if it was me and raise the seat and bars in a safe manner

Any pics of the said steed ?

Am similar height and use 55/56cm 22 1/2 frames

52cm is a little to small as the top tube will be short and a really long stem usually upsets the steering...

Thanks
