Tunnelrat81,

Maybe I wasn't clear in making my point regarding fit and test riding. Too many people try to "dry lab" fitting. The stem comment was just a personal observation. When I've tried to make a too small frame fit with a long stem, I never gotten them too feel right. I've been a commuter, light tourist and century rider, who rarely gets out of the saddle. Thanks for clarifying for the OP.

Regards,

Van
