Hi,
Just bought a Rose CGF in size medium with a 90mm stem. The bike fit feels pretty good i have spent a few hours getting seat hight right and fore/aft. The reach feels pretty good however the 90mm stem does seem short.
There where two things i found when i did my first 120km last week:
One was that i felt too much weight through my hands, this could have been to do with my saddle tilted too far down which i now have rectified.
The second thing was that when I was climbing out the saddle every now and again my knees would hit the back of the bars.
For what its worth, I'm 5ft 9 and my inseam is around 30inchs
Cheers

You do need a longer stem by the sound of it. I'm just over six foot, have a 57cm top tube and a 100mm stem is just right for me, if that helps.0

In view of the relative cost and ease of changing a stem, if I were in your position I would try a 100mm stem.0
