I ride an extra small Decathlon RC520 - use it for distance / winter / "light" touring, from club rides to quite long audaxes. Not sure the stack / reach is what you're after, but the geo charts are on the page on Decather's website.
It can take up to 37mm tyres, I run 32 with mudguards, can take a rack front and rear and is comfy. It does come up heavy, but I don't really notice it except up hills. My average speeds are roughly very similar compared to my lighter, "faster" other bike.
I do sometimes look at it and think "fucking hell I ride a Decathlon special" (even though I think it looks pretty nice for a cheap and cheerful bicycle) but it got me round Windsor-Chester-Windsor the other week without any hiccups, so shrug emoji
