I'd often thought my bikes were a tad long for me. The smaller sizes felt small in the leg, the larger sizes felt too long on the top tube.
I've been seriously considering getting a bike fit to work out if I needed to go custom, or pay more attention to geo charts, but then recently started stretching after every ride. I now feel like I could manage a longer stem for the first time, like, ever. I'm gonna hold off another year on the bike fit and see where this stretching lark gets me.
TLDR: I recommend a good post ride stretch for everyone.
