And 48cm was too small for me. So 51cm is the one.
Not sure about bike rules about fitting from a pic since I didn't post my leg length vs torso.
If it feels good it is good, rules be dammed.
I am in a very similar situation. I also ride a 51 cm frame. I needed a shorter (80 mm) stem as I've got a pretty stiff body that won't stretch out as much as I would like. I've been doing some stretch at home lately. Hopefully this will help me get back to the stock 90 mm stem.
