Yup, just ordered a 80, 130 is too much stretch. Also make it an even 50mm under the stem. Lastly trim the steerer tube to match the new stack. I'll post a pic after mods.

One more thing I'm 5' 5-6" tall. The frame is 53cm which seems correct for me. I have about 2-3" to the top bar before making contact with the jewels.

I had 10cm of spacers under the stem, a 6 and a 4. I changed it out to 6 under and put the 4 on top. That's 2.36 inches under the stem, not the nearly 4 as before. Much better.
