I am 36 years old; 6ft tall with long torso. LBS also mentioned that Cannondale is suited for people with long torso vs Trek is for short torso.

Please help!!
Do Trek call the 22.5" frame, "XL"?

I'm surprised that they are recommending a bike that large for you.

I would have thought that most people who are 6 ft, would be split between the 19" & 21", depending on torso length.
