Thought a 61 seemed a bit long initially but the more that I ride the more it think my 57 ridley just might not be quite long enough. I've seen you post a geo chart before of your bike, if you knew what sort of stack and reach numbers does it have?

My former 58cm Tiemeyer (that I was looking to replace and get something longer):
Stack: 56.5cm
Reach: 43.8cm
My 61cm Snyder:
Stack: 53.51cm
Reach: 45.62cm

Not as dissimilar as I'd thought actually, same angle's just a bit longer and taller overall.
Though at 189cm myself and with long arms I think my reach at 43cm isn't quite enough.

You're tall with long arms. Does that mean long legs as well, or are you built like a gorilla, long arms and short legs? If you have a short torso, you won't need as much reach as someone with a longer torso. You'll need more bar drop from the saddle if that is the case.

Probably proportional legs, 82-83cm saddle height depending on crank length. Nothing freakish as far as arms go with a 199cm wingspan so it's not as if I'm and orangutan or anything haha

I've made some adjustments to my set up now that track season is upon us in southern Ontario. Running a Hed 3 rather than a 1080 up front and switched to a nice shallow Look sprint bar. New track frame has been delayed a bit and I may not have it done for another month or two. This will do for now.

Thanks! I built the frame. I don't sell any frames so I've never gotten around to having a logo done. I wanted to put something on it so I appropriated a Rossin decal and left off the "in" so it spells my name.

Nice work! And classy appropriation of the Rossin font.

New bars needed a new stem and spacers (not really but aesthetics) so tried to match the bling, not quite the same but close enough.
Excuse the screenshots, can't resize on the phone

Very nice, Pierrej.
If you like leather straps, maybe consider NJS straps. They are pricey, but it's worth it. They have 3 layers and don't stretch or flop around like single layer straps.
