I'm not super tall, just 189cm - but with kinda long legs and arms.
Of course the fit also includes saddle positioning (for me height/setback = 816/-77mm), and achieving the setback depends on the seat tube angle. So with this in mind, I believe the stack and reach measurements still make sense
But yeah, might be looking at custom then ;-)

What did you parents feed you!??
Kidding. I used to think Stack and Reach was a great way of sizing frames...but when you dig in to it I think it falls down when the angles change across sizes. Maybe.
I think particularly large or small riders, or riders with 'shapes' that aren't typical of their gender need to sling themselves over possible contenders as the numbers don't really work for them.
