Riding a frame that is entirely too large:

Is this an idiotic thing to do? I found a Taiwanese-made Bianchi frame sitting around at Free Ride which I was determined to build up even after I measured it at 61 cm C-T seat tube. Now I'm 6' and have decently long legs, but to have the bike adjusted to give me anywhere near the proper leg extension, I have to put the seat tube almost all the way down. Should I suck it up and throw the parts on a smaller, albeit crappier frame, or stick with this one because I'm a brand/mediocre quality *****? Basically, I want your responses to recall stories in which you've ridden too large frames and regretted it or loved it.
