I am now beginning to ask myself what difference a couple of centimetres might make one way or the other - or, in this case, one which is 5cm too short and the other 4cm too long.
Wow, I can't imagine compromising a bike's fit to that extent! Are we losing sight of the bicycle's basic premise, as a machine to enhance our mobility, rather than to stroke our ego? Hang it on the wall instead, for display. Or better yet, find someone whom it will fit as intended and build it up for them.
