I did not read all the replies.

But my .02 cents is that you’d probably be happier in the long run if you just sell it and get one with a smaller frame size that doesn’t require stem-slashing/etc. to get comfortable. I’ve played the stem-slashing game to reduce reach, swapped in 0-offset seatposts, tilted the dropbars up, nudged saddle forward on its rails, and other things in quest to reduce reach……..but I was never genuinely happy and satisfied until I bought a smaller frame bike that required none of the above. And when you get that fit truly correct …. feels great man!
