According to bike fit I am built wrong, my legs are too short for my body as a result of having a long torso. I only have a 30 inch inseam but I ride 58 cm frames for vintage bikes, that means the stand over is pretty much non existent but the longer tt accommodates my torso, also I end up showing less than a fistful of seatpost as wisdom suggests.
I end up ignoring standard fit advice and going with what is comfortable YMMV

If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you overall and how long a stem do you use on this set-up? What shirt sleeve
length fits you properly? 34?
I agree with going with what is comfortable, with the caveat that sometimes it takes a while to become comfortable with a more efficient position.
(One of these days I would love to do a bike "fitting" for the different purpose bikes I have. I don't think my basic road position wuold change much, but I'm still curious.
Cheers, Eric
I'm finding that saddle type/brand seems to make the most difference, even after saddle location, tilt etc is made as similar as possible. I am still most comfortable and productive on a semi-grippy unicanitor / concor type. Smooth leather or synthetics, dont work for me so far.
