Indeed. The geometry of the frame is meant to be matched to both your leg length and torso length in a comfortable riding position for the riding you do. The majority of tall riders who fit on short, short bikes either do so because their legs are very limber, or because the bike has a tiny frame but enormous front triangle length.
