Bikes with a short top tobe

    Folks...

    Anyone know which bikes (road bikes) are known to have short top tubes?
    I have long legs and in comparison a small upper body.
    I've been told my bike doesn't suit me (it's a Ridley). At the time of my bike fit he did name a few brands that are known to have a short top tube but I can't remember them all, I think some examples were Giant and Specialized.

    Would anyone have this wonderful knowledge??

    Cheers.

    top tube is more important than seat tube length, get a frame with the right TT, thats why seatposts come in 350,400mm sizes!

    The two important dimensions are top tube length and head tube length (height).

    So if you're looking for a short top tube, you're conversely looking for a long head tube. That's standard "relaxed geometry".

    Canyon Roadlite, Specialized Roubaix/Secteur, Cannondale Synapse, Giant Defy ...?
