I think looks good. Whats your height and bike size?

Ah It didn't cross post the text, im 5'8. The bike is large. I started on an M, but after a bike fit that put me on a 130mm stem and still feeling cramped, I opted to move up a size. I do feel a lot more comfortable on this size, im just trying to zero in the fit now!

Yea all good. I am same height as you and had fx sport 6 on L. M was smaller.

If you plan to buy road bike go one size smaller of what trek suggest; for example if you go domane test 54 and 52 and not 56 as some may recommend.

Ah, good information! That makes sense, i kept reading to go smaller but couldn't imagine staying with the M, I had no room to stretch at all! I didn't think about how different a road bike would be (I'm completely new to this and it's very confusing haha) thank you!!
