I want a shorter reach, not a longer reach. As I wrote, I prefer a more upright position.
52 sounds too small? If I straddle the top tube on the 52 cm frame, there is no space, I'm just on top of the top tube.
As I wrote, in a 'regular' bike, my frame size would be 53 to 57 cm or so. My wife's bike is 51 cm and I could adjust that to my liking. I've owned a 59 cm bike, which while being on the large size for me, could still be adjusted to my liking.
