I've lost most of an inch, all torso (I'm soon to be 67). Yes my reach has gotten longer. I always rode really long stems so now they are just not quite so long or set a cm higher. Not a big deal. (All but one of my bikes qualifies as C&V with quill stems, so raising the stem is so easy! The one threadless is 1" steel steerer so when the time comes, I'll just have it threaded and drop in a sweet Nitto Pearl.
