    I was very very interested to read on another post here -an ad for a cube road bike - that cube have particularly short top tubes, relative to frame height, and so I checked it up and it does seem to be the case.

    Being of of long legged, short backed sapience, it might be the bike for me.

    Are there any other manufacturer's that offer varying geometries like that? Most that I've ever come across are, y'know, if it's 56 high then it'll be 56 long.

    Canyon! I think you might have been pointed that way in your search for a bike.

    They're noted for short top tubes on their frames. I had to go up to a 58cm (from 56cm) in their sizes to get the same effective top tube length as previous bikes. Headtube height was exactly the same as the 56cm bikes.

    Sound. Yeah I've been looking at an entry level frameset, just a bit put off an online purchase when fit is so critical.

    Any other manufacturers?
