Looking totally sweet by the way.

OP, great looking bike anyway! Could you tell which handlebars and saddle are you using?
If you look at the pics of the OP's Trek in a couple of different threads, he had a shorter stem on the Trek, and the seat in more of a conventional position.
And in another thread, the OP said he measured himself and determined the Trek was too large and was going down a size.
All that put together would indicate to me that there is a decent chance that the setup of the Cervelo in this thread is not to accomodate an abnormally long torso, but that the OP would set up better on one frame size up.
If I were the OP, I'd go back to the people I bought the bike from, and really work on dialing in the fit, and if the answer is you need a funky set up to fit this frame, I'd seriously discuss with them the possibility of swapping frame sizes.
