Wow lots of good info here, especially the part about how a smaller bike could be a better thing, being more nimble, etc. I actually measured the reach for my bike and it came out to be around 440mm which is fairly large compared to some of the larger bike frames I was looking at like the surly long haul trucker. So as far as I know, im pretty good on length, the riser or adjustable stem seems like the best choice. Thanks all.
