This bike looks like the leg length of at least 6’ tall or taller person.

Yea I think you're right. Directly comparing it to my ride, Serg's definitely looks higher. I'm 5'10".

Looking at yours, it looks same length from pedal to seat, to me. His frame is a bulkier component (?), what do I know.

I haven't had a bike fit so I could be set up totally wrong lol But I'm pretty comfortable, can put power down, reach the ground and good reach to cockpit.

I need for a bike to stretch my leg from pedal to inside leg without much bend in knee. Most bikes don’t feel right and I have to adjust the seat up. Enthusiasts have argued that a slight bend is ideal. Opinion?

I aimed for a 10-15° leg bend at full extension for better power output and comfort. When I got into road cycling in 2020 I played around with it a lot, watched an absolute ton of videos on bike fit.

At the end of the day though whatever works for you and doesn't cause injury is right!
