- To accommodate your torso length, you'd have to use a longer than normal stem which will affect handling.
- You may have to use a long seat post to get proper leg extension.
- Even though you may be able to slide the saddle back in the rails, it still may not be far enough to put your knees in the right position over the bottom bracket.
- The wheelbase will be shorter affecting handling.
