Too funny. That's baloney. We are the same size and built the same.
I never use a zero setback post...most of mine are in the 20 to 25mm setback range. Glad you like all that weight on your hands but I don't.

Titani, I told you what you need..an endurance geometry frame. If you don't understand top tube length to head tube height ratio...head tube being analogous to leg length and top tube being the bike analog to torso length, then you need to find a fitter. For many Geometry wasn't their best subject in school so you need to find a person where it comes a bit more naturally.
Also Roadguy's comment about finding a horizontal top tube bike is meaningless as well. Has nothing to do with anything. Its all about finding the frame with the stack and reach you need relative to the 'stack and reach of your body' if you understand that metaphor...which includes your native flexibility which will limit what level of saddle to handlebar drop you can tolerate.. Top tube angle has nothing to do with it aside from min seat post insertion which is a non issue with a long seat post.
