depends on your style. personally i'd have a 120x5. if i rode urban i'd probably use something shorter.

I'm only 6' but various people here suggested I try a 135 on my Zebdi and it worked for
me. I'm still just a beginner but it really helped my mobility on the rear wheel. It is
considerably easier for me to make balance corrections than with the shorter stem.

buy new frame?

no matter what you do you will be cramped on the zebdi.

Thomson makes a 140 mm stem. get it with max rise.

Get a new frame man! You won't regret it. I went from a Crescent to a Koxx lb 1100 w/Echo Urban forks and I got 1115 mm out of the wheelbase.... I'm 6'6" and it rules riding a larger bike. Then you'll use a fairly normal stem.
