Bikes: Tarmac Disc Comp Di2 - 2020

Unless you are very picky, stems are cheaper than cranks. So a shorter stem might fix the reach on that 60 cm Domane. However looking at the frame reach they list in the geometry, the difference between the 58 cm and 60 cm is only 3 mm.

There is some very slight differences in the seat tube and head tube angles between the two that will increase reach to the bars some also. Frame Stack between the two increases 2.2 cm for the bigger frame. And BB drop decreases by 3 mm.

I have seen some new bikes that the stem length changes with frame size. Don't know if Trek does the same or not. But for sure the stack and reach numbers they give are frame stack and frame reach which doesn't tell you the true picture of your fit which is to the position of your hands on the handlebar.

When I got my new bike this year, they had two lesser models of the same bike in the shop in a 56 and a 58 cm. They let me ride each for 10 miles and would have let me do more if I'd wanted. It really surprised me which bike I picked as just sitting on it and riding around the lot I was in favor of the one I didn't get. However I could have easily fixed what was wrong for me on the 58 cm bike by changing both cranks and stem. On the 56 I just changed cranks.
