any of you guys who have had problems with tob tube lengths:


Did any of you TRY putting a different length stem on there? The giant adjustable stem only goes up and down, which really doesnt help extend your arms or pull them back in the way different length stems of the same angle would.

And sure, cannondale has 12 sizes. I know for a FACT that I could make a 48 or a 52 work if i put in the time to make the bike fit well (I ride a 50).

So: Giant makes damn good bikes, in 6 sizes. If you're willing to mess around with different stems, and maybe some different types of seatposts, you can make it work. Otherwise, go ahead and drop a hell of a lot more money on a bike that would give you the equivalent value.
