I am 6'1 and my measurement are quite unique. I have a long inseam (35.5) and a short torso and arm length reach. This makes finding the right frame fit challenging. With the frames I have marked off my list, the top tubes in comparison to the seat tubes that are my size are too long and leave me way too stretched out over the bike. The usual suggestion are just to use a short stem, but I would have to shorten to the point of affecting the steering. The other would be size down the seat tube length and add spacers to the steerer to get the right height. Well doing this would require more spacers than I would like or put me at an awkward over aggresive angle.
