Bikes: Bike Count: Rising.

It's going to be way too small even if you raise the seat. The higher the saddle goes, the more weight gets put on your hands which can cause you to have problems with your hands and wrists down the road. What also has already been said is that the toe overlap would be really bad.
I'd have to say make yourself a better mechanic and get an older bike that has horizontal dropouts and is in your size range and convert it.
