I have read of saddle rails getting bent because of adjusting it too far one way. Is that not true?

I did measure that way, Loo. I have a very long torso for my height. I stood up next to someone 4 inches shorter than me, and our legs started at just about the same spot. I have measured several times to be sure.

I know the Caad8 has a more heads up geometry than the Caad10. I thought it would be enough, but maybe not with my strange figure.

I will look at the bike fit calculator, as well.
