The bike shop does not do exchanges or returns so it had to be put on ebay. Moral of the story, Giant bikes from my exp and are for long torso people. My Sirrus is a medium and fits me to a T.
Why didn't you try a stem change first. Just wondering. The stock medium I would guess comes with a 100 mm stem or maybe 90 as my large is a 100 and my wife's an 80. Giant makes connect stems as low as 60 and some higher angles as well.
