Cheers for that. It sounds like the top-tube length is a non-issue for you.
Re the coach's comments - the only way I can think that your position would be a problem is if it's adversely affecting your ability to a) generate power or b) control the bike.
But it sounds like you're pretty happy with the fit so I reckon keep doing what you're doing!
Well I've not really thought about it but I always ride with quite a stretched out position whichever bike I'm on. Plus I'm not very bike fit fussy I guess.
I'm 6'1" and ride a large with a 120mm stem - although I've been considering a 110mm stem instead recently. Recently got told off at Manchester because they said my position was too aggressive :-/ Not really sure what they meant as I wasn't going there to take it easy! Conversely at the other velodrome I go to, the coach there said it looked spot on. Maybe I need some kind of pro bike fit, but I feel happy enough in myself though and surely that's all that matters :P
