Can I be "that guy" for a second?
It's a nice bike. A few tweaks and it would be very nice. But, in my opinion, the frame is much to small for you, if you need that stem and seat post length to be comfortable.
But ride it! Love it, but if somehow you come across a person with an equal ride, but with the opposite problem(to short for their bike), swap it.

uhh is that a mountain bike turned into a road bike?

Haha no it was born as a road bike. I think the original fork was replaced though

needs a few tweaks: lose the boner stem and is that a telescopic seatpost? if so...must go; remove the plastic reflectors and the pie-plate around the rear cluster

Ha, noted. The stem and seat are like that though because it's a 54 and I'm a 56ish

also you should try losing the toe clips. switching to clipless pedals is definitely the way to go

Yeah definitely. I'm waiting til I can afford shoes and pedals

130mm stem and 25mm setback seatpost; slam stem for pro effect

Nice uncle. I'm not familiar with Treks, but that looks to have a very interesting geometry, especially wrt the top tube. What model/year is it?
It's a Trek 1200c, and my uncle thinks it's about 4 years old

Ok, that looks about right. I stand by my unusual geometry comment, but the specs look nice.
