Piqmode, thanks for the link...the search continues.
I'd suggest that you determine your cycling inseam by straddling the Yokota's top tube, and blocking both wheels equally till you feel a saddle-like pressure exerted upon your crotch from the TT. I also have a long torso, and was able to get an excellent fit on a Colnago. Am running a 10mm spacer (Record HS/w 10mm upper stack) with 9cm of handlebar drop and a 130 stem. Front/Rear weight distribution is 44/56. Knee is 1cm behind spindle.

I'm not one to recommend a frame to a stranger, but I'll say that this is my 2nd Colnago and it does what I want it to do in a manner that suits my style of riding.
