Kurt, I'm essentially the same size as GP also... I think he's 85pbh...I'm 84.5 We are the same height otherwise. 5'10.5" with a 75cm saddle height. I think a lot of the stretched out feeling has a lot to do with personal preference ...some people don't mind leaning forward and others do. I suspect another big piece is the seat tube and head tube angles being slack , coupled with the longer bike in general. For me, I enjoy being stretched out and forward on on my Hillborne but less so on the Cheviot. The cheviot is a great ride for me, but I tend to like it for rides shorter than 15 miles or so. Longer than that and I want to be on my Sam. thanks JS
