Experiment with larger frame, any thoughts?

I'm 5'11 1/4", 34 1/4" cycling inseam. I usually ride a 23" Raleigh Marathon and it's never felt like it fit quite right.

I have this other frame, a late 80's Fuji, it's a 25" but the top tube is only 23 1/2". According to basically everything I've ever read, it should be too big. I put it together yesterday out of boredom and rode it around for 15 minutes or so. It doesn't feel too big, though. Does it look too big? Why would this feel comfortable to me if it is so much larger than frames most people my height/build use?

If anybody requests the back story from the original post, I'll add it in the comments. It was way too wordy for me to even read.

The photo is a screen shot of a video I took, low quality, and an afterthought to the post. I can take a better one if anybody wants. I'm in the drops in this photo.

Thanks,

Joseph
