Hello all, just wondering if anyone can give me advice on this, basically I've got my first road bike about a month and half ago, It's a Carrera Zelos 2015, I purchased it from a friend who never used it, I've only ever had MTB's or hybrids and the problem is I am 5'11 It's a Large Size but I'm sure Carrera's large is a 54cm, when using a sizing guide I needed a 56cm but even though it's a size smaller, I feel stretched out on it, I even bought a shorter stem, it came with 110cm but I put a 100cm on it which helped but still feel stretched, sometimes it affects my hands or triceps causing a slight annoying pain but not too bad as I can just shake it off but I want to be more comfortable on it before I hit any sportives.
My other bike is a Specialized Sirrus Elite in a large size, I've done over 2000+ miles on it and even a 100 mile sportive not had any issues as such.
