I'll try to post a more recent, updated pic soonest.
Re: Cannondale C2 stem. AFAIK there's no 105 mm stem. I measured mine at 100 mm - YMMV.
Much appreciation. Do you have a measurement of how much seatpost is showing? Not the overall length of the seatpost, but just how much is out of the frame.

Also, what type of handlebars are those? (I'm just trying to compile a list of traditional/classic bend bars available today)

I'm about 5' 9.5". The 56cm frame feels like a monster underneath me. The 54cm feels good, but I'm just curious as to how the 52cm would feel or look. I'd be hard pressed to test ride a 52cm though, I believe. Every bike shop I've talked to steers me back to the 54 or 56...

And I'm just not sure how I keep getting 105mm measured. Center of the top cover to the middle of the handlebars, it's 105mm every time. I'd like to figure it out to see what aftermarket stems I can purchase.
