Unless you are willing to have a LOT of seatpost exposed, use a long stem and be willing to have the bars several cm below the saddle, the frame is too small.
Thanks for your reply.

And I must agree, I now also think that it's to small, and must find something else with a 55 size at least.

May I ask what model and year Litespeed you have? both of them.
