Yeah, the characteristics you mentioned are the ones I’m after. I’ve been racing on a Fisher Cronus road for years and it’s been better for me than one might expect. But it’s getting pebbled to death and clear coat is starting to come off.
We used to have a very generous Trek sponsorship and I briefly owned an Emonda SLR 9 but found the rear end hurt my lower back (first bike where that’s ever happened) and I wasn’t a fan of di2.
My sense is that the Cervelo and Canyons are likely more forgiving in the rear. The geo for the R3 will definitely work but not the new lower R5. The Canyon Ultimate may work but not the lower Aeroad. A Tarmac could work but it’s out of my price range - unless...anyone want a 2010 Fisher Cronus road in “perfect condition”? (Forget what I said above. Couldn’t be more pristine. Practically new “other”)!

Ya, I figured you needed a little more stack height. I see the Tarmac as the goldilocks of race bikes when it comes stack.
I hadn't checked the current prices of the complete Tarmacs although I know the S-Works frame is now 4K plus. Wow. That said most shops would be willing to drop at least $500 of the price of a complete bike. This Expert at $5500 strikes me as a better deal than a comparable Cervelo or Canyon.

The Cronus was a great bike.
