Thanks!

green one is sold, so that is out. I am going to test ride the probably too big Trek this evening just because it is local and the price is nice and I am curious. Was my biking night anyways, stopping by isnt an issue.
I ran my Jones Loops with stock stem and it was okay. I did ride the shorter stem for about 2 weeks with the Loops before I switched to drops for summer(if we ever get summer here this year, that is!) and it definately made me feel more upright! Crazy what a few inches can do!

I haven't ruled out a new 16" BD. But it blows my budget for the next 6 mos, so it would be a layaway purchase(which my LBS does). I was just hoping for now. But obviously fit is important! So I will wait if it means a good fit. I just know these utility bikes tend to have an upright feel, so I thought maybe a longer TT won't feel so weird to a normal MTBer or Roadie who is used to being stretched out.
