Why do people think a long torso means you need a setback post? Your torso doesn't affect the various measurements between your butt and foot (which is all that influences setback). A long torso would show up in TT length and stem length, not setback.

Finally, someone gets it. If you think you 'need' that much setback because of a long torso, you really actually need a longer stem or TT (depending on your arm vs torso ratio).
