Not with the right stem.

Sure, why not. My proportions/fit aren't all that different. I buy 30" pants, but I stand just over 5'11". My cycling inseam/standover is a bit more (31"+). You are welcome to spin around the block on my 56cm Synapse or CAAD10. I'm pretty sure the Synapse would accommodate your inseam. I have a 90mm Cannondale stem that might help you (for a little while) on the Saeco. And if you find a frame, I can help with some of the move over. Also, I have an r700 compact crankset (170mm) to sell that would go great with that 7800 group (just as an option) if the cranks aren't quite right.
