Thanks dangle. I guess I keep reading that these bikes run larger than maybe the stack and reach numbers alone would suggest. I also am more of a short legged long torso guy, so the geometry on these bikes just might not be a good fit for myself.

Again, I recommend taking the 5 minutes to play around with numbers at http://www.bikegeo.net/. It will show you exactly what it will fit like compared to your current bike(s). It will show the frames superimposed on top of each other.
The stack and reach are what they are. The major consideration for the Haanjo is a fairly tall seat tube, thus a fairly high standover. I normally have a LOT of seatpost exposed on my bikes and the Haanjo was the first that looked like a normal amount of seatpost sticking out. That's really the only fit consideration here. Figure out how much 'clearance' you already have in that area and if the higher seat tube of the Haanjo is too high. The tires, seat and bar tape have more of an impact on comfort, so I wouldn't worry too much about a little less seatpost sticking out.
