Few bike shops, for some reason, are willing to swap a $25 part to sell a $2500 bike. I don't know why. Get familiar with a calculator, if you're in the US, to translate inches to centimeters, then go crazy with the geometry charts on the Specialized web site.

Third, you might check in with the bike fitting forum on this site.
Thanks! I am new to the forum so I will go post there.
