I'd say it's border line. Tyax comes specced with 100mm - you can usually push most frames to take another 20mm without upsetting the handling. Try it and see - if it steers like a barge, try a shorter stem. Frame strength will be ok - Tyaxs are built like tanks!

Thanks mate, i have a 60mm stem on the bike so handling should be ok, i was worried about frame integrity etc.
