Get close on this bike, buy a bike where you can get that position with all of the adjustments near the middle of their ranges, then go out for rides and tinker!

Thanks for the advice! I'll play around with my hybrid's fitting first before I commit to a brand new bike

Not your pant inseam. I just want to get an idea of what crank length may suit you.

My inseam is 71 cm, barefoot. Yes I have long arms so maybe I don't need a WSD bike but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still short so will only fit on the smaller bikes
Thanks a lot for all your help and advice, by the way. I appreciate it!
