I do not know whether my arm length (63 cm) is considered to be a long arm length. The LBS told me that compact frame geometries are good for people that have a long torso for their overall height - my torso length is 39 cm. (Is this considered long/short ?) Taking into consideration my 88 cm inseam, and height of 181 cm....

Maybe that is - now - too much information.

My current bike set up is 57 cm, 100 mm stem. It sounds logical that others with a similar height and inseam are riding 56 cm with 120 mm stem. Maybe that is the end result for me, rather than a 58 cm TT with a seat set-back adjustment.

Do you have any thoughts on these conclusions?

Thanks -
