So I picked up a Giant TCR for an amazing price. It's in great shape with some upgraded components, in perfect tune. I love how it rides. But I feel streched on it.

The bike is Giant's compact road size Large. 58cm seat tube, 58.5cm top tube. I'm 6'1" with long legs, shorter torso. After I bought it I calculated my ideal fit using the competitive cyclist calculator. It shows my ideal bike would have a 56.5cm top tube and a 100mm stem. So can I go out on a limb and say that if the top tube is 2 cm longer than ideal, I can take 20mm off of the stem and have a "different ideal" of 58.5 top tube with 80mm stem?

There's an 80mm stem on there now and I still feel a little stretched, although I still have a little bend in the elbows when I'm on the hoods. Maybe I'm just not used to riding in a more agressive position.

Should I try for the 60mm stem or am I really just trying too hard to make this thing work? Anybody else out there running a 60mm stem?

I want to keep this bike.
