you have to find an lbs that will fit you properly and be willing to swap parts to get the bike to fit you, i think most of the m/l/xl frames come with a 120mm stem. Although i do have to say even with my jacked up seatpost i still have another 3 inches that i could pull it out before i get to the minimum insertion line marked on the post, so more than likely you are going to be able to cut quite a bit off of it taking off even more weight. Giant's tend to need to be played around with to get them to fit properly and alot of people dont want to have to hassle with it the just want to take the bike out of the box build it and be done. In my opinion once you get the bike dialed in all the time screwing around with stems and seatposts etc will have been worth it because IMO FWIW the giants (at least the TCR Carbons) are a damn sweet ride.
