I also have a Zurich steel/carbon (spine bike). I bought it new in 2006, but it was a year or two old. The shop had stripped it, so I got it with different components than stock.
I had to get a zero offset Thompson seatpost, and use a 100 mm stem. I have found it to be very comfortable. I can do 8-10 hour days and not feel sore or beat up.
These days, I also get a lot of favorable comments from other cyclists (didn't happen when it was new)
I also like that it has a straight top tube, so I can keep my frame pump there and still have 2 bottle cages.
