    No.

    Sell it and buy a bike that fits correctly.

    I sat on it and it's plenty big enough

    You see the geezers flying around on the little Dublin bikes

    For short trips here and there you can get away with that, much like Dublin bikes. OP mentioned training, where a bike that's much too small might leave him bent out of shape over time. In my experience, putting on a longer stem and raised saddle full back will let you get away with one size too small, but personally I wouldn't be going much lower than that. That said, there is a lad that does the WW200 on a Dublin bike, but wouldn't be my idea of fun.

    Would you "train" on a Dublin Bike?

    it's possible for you...a 6'3" male to ride very small bike, but not recommended..
