If you don't believe me, go thru all the loaded tour bike pics thread.
Yes, on my 56 cm/559 mm Disc Trucker I have at least 5 cm spacers but stem is fairly short. Truckers have long top tubes, with shorter frame one can use a longer stem. Shorter frame might allow use of a suspension seat-post for those rough Russian roads?
