Have you thought about moving your saddle forwards? It's quite far back.

It is a great bike and good price. I agree with mattty. Move your saddle forward and raise the stem a couple of centimetres. Looks like a 9 or 10 cm so you probably don't want a shorter one, aesthetically speaking, but you might find bars with a shallower throw, maybe? A couple of minor adjustments like that and I bet someone your size might find it is Ok (unless you have a 36 inch inseam and short torso, or T-Rex like physique with atrophied forearms.....). Worth a try to keep a ride like that, I say. You could also replace the stem with a quill-to-ahead stem converter, then use a stem with a steeper angle to get the bars up higher.
I know, I'm long-winded.....Good luck either way. -

That's about the size of frame I would expect to ride for your height, I'm about the same height and ride a 55 frame.

moi aussi, I ride a Colnago very similar, its 52/53 but I use a longer 120 stem and its really comfy...
