Not to open up another can of worms, but could the frame be too large for you?
I've had the bike for about a year, after a month or so I did feel like I was to far away from the bars. I had a 120 mm stem on there and put a 100 mm and rode like that for a while all was good. As i started to feel a bit more flexible and get a bit lower i was starting to feel like a wanted to stretch out more so I put the 120 back and come to think of it shortly after this was were the problems were coming up.......I dont think the frame is to large, but really dont know.... They did seem to do a good fit but it was my second fit i got....its was definitely more than the first fit. I will follow your advice and get the saddle/pedal position set then mess with the stem, buts its appearing a 110 mm stem might set me straight, I still have the 100 mm that i will try putting back on today for now.
