I think a 19 inch bike is supposed to fit a person about 5'7 tp 5'11 with
an inseem of around 29-31.My PBH is about the same, and I've got a 57

The shorter stem did feel a little different, but not bad in any way.
Anyway - I guess if 70 stems were so wrong I don't think GP would
stock them. Either way I don't really care. The bike fits perfectly now.

Similar story. Got into bikes about 5 years ago as an adult in my 50s,
potbelly and bad knees and all. Bought a Trek 1.2 from the lbs. Loved it and
loved riding, but sure got tired and sore after a 40 or 50 mile ride. Started
looking for the carbon bike that everyone said I needed. Then
Vote for CO also.
