Before you go to that extent though, have you considered a tall or upward rise 13 cm stem? Might be worth the experiment to see if you could get the 56 comfortable before springing for a new frame.

I’m more of a fan of Salsa chromoly stems instead of Nitto Technomic BTW.
That's kind of counter to the aesthetic I'm looking for. What I really want is an authentic Circuit, but in my size.

And I already bought both the 23" frame and the 24" frame and fork. I'm hoping that with the 23" frame, I'll be able to use the original seatpost and Rolls saddle, and with a 110 stem (as originally spec'ed on the 23") the bars should be right. I did a quick calculation, based on the increased head tube length, and the bars will be 2cm higher, putting them right in the range of all my other bikes.
