My recommendation of a Domane was more for fit, not handling.


For your long legs/short torso you might find that the Emonda has you too stretched out, or with your hands too low. At your height, I would try a 60cm Emonda and a 60cm Domane. you will quickly feel the difference. Both will handle fine, but the Domane has a shorter TT and a longer head tube.

If you look at both geometry charts, compare the difference in stack and reach.
