Mark Cavendish dropped from his standard 52cm frame to a 49cm frame in 2014/15 and he stands at 175cm around 160lbs. So you can certainly make the smaller frame work. It will be a little lighter and easier to manuever.
Marcel Kittel at 190cm rides a 57cm frame with a 130mm stem. So I wouldnt worry too much about the small frame.

My inseam is 79 or 80 cm. That will be my first serious bike because current I bought in universal store among freezers and baby toys)) It seems that in US you call it Wallmart-bike.
