So the burden is on you. I am pretty open minded to fit because even racers past their prime and into retirement often ride up to 3 stem sizes shorter and highe, no longer able to sustain a stretched out position as when at the peak of their racing days. Same size guy...different fit based upon a change in weight, strength and flexibility. There is no absolute correct when it comes to bike fit.
