FWIW I am also 6' with a little over a 34" inseam (pubic bone height). I feel that I have proportionally longer legs to the size of my torso. I ride a 58cm LHT, and the stock bike that I test rode also felt a little stretched out for me. When I built up my bike, a 90mm stem was used and I left the steerer tube on the long side to raise the bars higher. This combination tended to "tighten" things up. I have about 4000 miles of actual touring on this bike so far as well as a lot of training miles. I'm really happy with it. Talk to you LBS when you purchase the bike about leaving the steerer tube uncut until you get it dialed in and replacing the stem with a shorter one. Also ask him about a stem with greater angle, i.e., greater than 10 degrees. I'm not sure but, I think I used about a 10 degree stem. Also, where did the LBS have the height of the bars set in relation to the saddle height? What length stem?

This was taken during a test ride during the build. It still needed fenders, racks, and a new front wheel. Note how the short, angled stem combined with the longer steerer tube allowed me to raise the bars level to the saddle. It is a position that many tourers, including me, prefer. That is the height that I ultimately left my bars. After 2 years, I still have not cut off the excess steering tube. I'll get around to it sometime



This is the completed build. My wife wanted my black pedals so guess who ended up with the white ones.
