Are you talking about TT length, or effective TT length?
Because with sloping TTs, basic TT length has become a useless measure unless both frames have the same TT slope. But it's easier to just compare geometries on BikeInsights; esp when they have a nice visual reference. |

You don't find this attractive?

I still look at TT (effective if needed) as it seems relevant to me.. I do look at stack and reach, but, as said by someone else, you have really consider the stack and then, it starts to blur for me..

My (admittedly very limited) understanding of bike geometry tells me that while both of those bikes will "fit" you, they will handle differently, because those two scenarios put the wheels and steering axis in a different location relative to the rider's contact points.

I pay no attention to TT length anymore, but I do correct the reach so it's measured at the same stack height. I also know that 74 or 74.5 degree STAs will work best for me. If it's 75 degrees, I'd need a 32mm setback post.

reach ~= STA + TT
you cant get to reach w/o TT.

Reach is a horizontal length from a vertical line through the center of the BB to the top-center of the upper headset bearing. STA only affects your choice of seat post setback needed to achieve your desired position relative to the BB center. The top tube length plays no part in this.
