Huh, good stuff, especially the Volvo, always have had a liking for them.

You and I have the same problem, I'm 6' 0.5in with 38 in. inseam/pbh with not too long reach.

Been riding bikes too small most of my life, so many "unique" setups as being discussed in the "What bugs you thread".

Couple years ago stepped up and bought the silver 66cm Merz and voila, way better ride on longer ones, a 26in. Paramount confirmed the change but has an even longer TT but still rides better than the smaller ones even being stretched out too much.

Still plenty of adjusting of the bars, levers as the reach did not improve the situation so still plenty of "unique" setups, still.
