The steerer tube is fully carbon, and it originally has this sleeve for reinforcement. Do you guys think its safe to use this normal topcap?

You said you're new to road riding, so maybe you don't have the 'feel' for the road position yet. You're supposed to be 'stretched out' to a certain extent on a road bike, and at 6ft, a 58cm wouldn't be out of the question for you (though this depends on other factors too) Lance is 5' 10" and rides a 58... Another way you could shorten the reach is with some compact handlebars, I like Deda bars.
