"Race" bike for long legs/short torso rider

As said above the issue is until you get on a bike in your preferred position it is so hard to know how that geometry feels. There are so many factors - where you like to sit compared to pedals (which sets your base on bike position) is just the start. Generally the lower you like the front end the longer reach you end up with, noting that lowering via removing spacers generally adds length, but where the weight then ends up can impact the handling through corners.

That is so true. I feel like you need a lot of experiences with different bikes to understand and feel what you like in a bike. Don’t have that experience for now, I’ll trust my fitter to narrow it down and will ask for a test ride.

Nice setup on the caad 12. I’m 180 cm tall and will be better with a 54 i reckon, just have to check if my flexibility will allow me to get as low on the front.
