You'd have to post a shot of you mounted to get a better opinion.
Perhaps you're all legs...
and I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
Well to be honest the bike has been a fit problem since I got it, I wasn't on this forum when i bought it and rushed into it. When i got it it came with those spacers and a 110mm stem, i kept moving my seat forward and just felt too stretched out in the hoods so we swapped out to a 90 degree stem. I recently had a much better fitting and the guy said that he felt the frame fit me, he recommended this stem and said he wanted me to first flip the stem then move out the spacers over time to feel it out. I always just feel so stretched out on the hoods.
