The top tube is 575mm, according to the Giant website. The stem is 110mm. 575 + 110 = 685mm. 685 / 25.4 = 26.97". Subtract a few inches for the nose to post distance, and perhaps a little because angles are involved, but I'll be surprised if all that gets me close to 20". Someone else suspected, in another post, that the bike may border on being too big for me. I'm beginning to suspect the same. I'll check the arm thing tomorrow.
