Neck pain, fit judgement

So I've been having neck pains on hilly rides that are longer than 1.5 hours. My current bike is a used trek 5000... It was originally figgsr with a 110 mm stem ... I thought the issue may be that it had too much reach for me. I decreased stem length and am now at an 80 mm stem. At least to my novice eyes the reach doesn't seem too far. To put things in perspective I'm 182 cm tall and the bike is a size 58. The first bike I had was a bigger size 61 but I had a high angle stem and brought the handle bar up and didn't have issues after that. Was wondering what you guys think of the fit here. I took the pics after driving back so the shoes aren't my clip-ins but I think the leg extension is similar too.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
