...make to fix this? There is no way i can afford a $700 bike from a bike shop, and i have this cheap Schwinn from Walmart, rides nice except for the fact i realize now that this bike is too big for me. I'm 5'8" 170lbs. YOu can see the bike here :http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4698938

Mainly, I'm wondering if i can correct this problem by replacing the stem with a shorter one, and moving the seat forward (which I read is a no no for bikes).
