I can't promise you that. All I know is that I'm comfortable. I imagine I'd feel really stretched out on your road bike.

My first (adult) bike was a 57 cm MTB frame (its geometry is quite similar to the LHT's), with a 90 or 100 mm stem. My back hurt, my hips hurt, my shoulders hurt, my elbows and my wrists hurt. I couldn't (well, I could, but only for a few seconds) bend over far enough to even flex my arms - they were locked straight out!

This LHT is only my second, so don't see me as an authority on bike fit...
BUT, I know about my experiences, and my LHT feels great to me.

This is my LHT in its current winter config:
