My LBS had me lower both the seat and stem down about 1" or so as I am not 6'3" or 6'4" or something. But at 6'0", it is doable and allows me a lot of room to stretch out. The Forte seat is also mounted a little bit forward too. Even with me at 6'0" with the 25" frame, if I stand on my toes when stopped at a traffic light, the bar doesn't interfere with the, um, "family jewels".
