I have a GF Tassajara. I should preface any of comments by saying that I am an extreme beginner and a really sucky rider

I am having some problems with the GF geometry. My bike is a "men's" bike. I am such a complete noob I had no idea what I was testing for when I bought it.

I am having a lot of discomfort because the reach is really long. We have moved my seat all the way forward. We have narrowed the width of the bars, but need to narrow them some more. We are getting ready to shorten the stem. I am not sure can ever make this bike work for me, but we are trying.

Just my $.02.
