Whoa I might be wrong but 52 is tiny for anyone that height, im about 6-2 and would take about a 60 in a road frame.
5-8 to 6-0 would be around 56-58cm ish

I am 5 8 and ride a 52 Tarmac, I had a 52 Kestrel (53.2 tt) and it was too big.

I use a 100mm stem, I could fit on a smaller frame with a 115mm stem, but would have pains on a bigger frame. Just my experience, but Competitive cyclist have a calculator that will tell you the exact frame. stem etc you are suited to, of course it also depends on the type of cycling you do.

Racing is a more aggressive fit and recommends a smaller frame, touring, more relaxed and stretched out and upright.
