In the real world we pick up bikes that don't quite fit. In that case the only option is the stem and seat position. very little stem adj. should be needed IF the frame is close to being correct.

I ride a Ridley with a level TT and an effective TT length of 59cm. I started off with a 110 stem and it was too short. I then switched to a 120 and it was almost there. I flipped the 120 stem over and it's perfect. I had to tweak the saddle position a little as well. Youmight have to make all these minot adjustments to get what feels right and treats your body correctly. I’m a big guy at 6’3″ and 100kgs.
