Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm looking at buying my firts FS bike having had stumpy ht for last 8 years. I have tried out zesty 314 and stumpy fsr elite so far, both in medium - I'm 5'9, and found that especially on zesty my hands seemed too close to my hips for comfort - is this just down to stem and bar combo (both fact standard on test model) or is this more normal of a FS? I still have to test a Giant Trance X2 also and have been looking at Canyon bikes also.
