Thanks to you both @BareNecessities @AdsH, I've never had a proper bike fit so I'm very shaky with measurements as all my bikes are varying sizes. I'm most comfortable on my 57 (550 effective) CX bike with a 100mm stem, which I think is better suited to my longer legs and shorter torso.

I suppose I could always use the stem to stretch out on a smaller frame, if I found it too cramped. Does the more upright position mean being cramped up is less of an issue?

In truth I don't know. My position is a function of what gives me reasonable power, weight over the front wheel, the ability to move around and has a modicum of attack/aero. It's quite long but not very low because my neck has to last 12hrs. I think I run the bars 3" lower than saddle.
