This thread is interesting to me since I had a similar issue with my Masi. It's a 56 cm with a sloping top tube and, as much as I love it, always felt a little "big" to me. It wasn't a major issue (I thought) and the frame size was what I usually ride as was the 110 cm stem. But I always felt a little stretched out and the bike just felt big. Then one day I realized that over the years I've lost about an inch in height and it's all in my upper body. So I got myself a 100 cm stem and now my bike feels "right" and no longer has the too big feel. Now I really love my bike. Anyone looking for a 110 cm Easton stem?
