Hi ,
I have a trek for my big rides which is getting run down as I commute 26 miles a day.
I have been given a Viking for my commute which I am quite happy with as it's from a mate & cost me very little.
Only issue is the frame is a little large in length & reaching the handle bars feels a bit of a stretch.
I can move the seat forward about half an inch but there's still about 2 inches I need to eliminate.
The stem is a standard 31mm.
Would there be any issues with me getting a shorter stem ?
All of the ones I have seen seem to be for MTB, does this matter ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated , I'm still getting to grips with the mechanics of bikes & sorting this issue would save me buying a new commuter.
Thanks
