I'm with Jed. If anything, it looks like you aren't stretched out enough and need a longer stem.
FWIW, I went from a 120mm stem down to a 90 for about a week. Awful, awful week of riding. The shorter stem made for MUCH twitchier handling.
Oh, one more thing, I ride anywhere from a 56 to a 60 - and if its a Trek I can go up to 62cm. So don't get too wrapped up in "perfect frame size".
