Even when choosing a size for my Roadini I noticed the top tube length was long than my previous road bike, but didn't really think it through all the way. Thankfully the bars I wanted to run were short reach, and I'm using a 70mm stem; if I had wanted the Noodle bars, I don't think it would have worked. Reach and bar height is so important for comfort.
