Any suggestions for a guy with a short torso, long legs, 6’ 1" and a virgo?
Looking for a 2-4K tri bike that hauls arse.
Custom?
hmm wonder if all virgos are short torso long leg types! You can try a custom. Guru makes custom and would be a great option. I think QRs tend to have shorter TTs.
I have the same body type and am really happy with the fit and handling of my new Valdora. The price is right in your sweet spot too. I have posted a pic of it on ST if you search under my user name. Here it is http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=1426395;search_string=;#1426395

I second the custom Guru, they make bikes from about $2300 up in custom geometry.
I’ve got a similar build to you and I’m very happy with my guru.
I am the same size and had the same problem for a couple of years and a couple of bikes. Ves Mandaric of Yaqui tri bikes built me a bike with an 81.5 degree seat tube and nice, neutral handling. His normal bikes are technically not custom, but he offers so many sizes and geometry variations as to make it a moot point. Note though, he doesn’t do wheel cutouts, internal cable routing or rear entry dropouts, so if someone has convinced you those are necessary then look elsewhere. Otherwise you get a solid bike with a narrow, aero down tube and good handling.
Are there other bikes that might be aerodynamically superior? Probably, but if you are not riding with a flat back and low head position then you have more important concerns anyway.

Doesn’t have to be custom necessarily.
Any other brands that I should look at that fit our build? Thanks again.
Get a fit first.
IMO, one should always get a pro fit BEFORE buying a bike. That being said, sloping top tube geometry may be in your cards, - but find a trustworthy fit person FIRST!
You should read what Dan has to say on the subject of long legs/short torso and why that body type is hard to fit on a standard bike. There is a link to it from the Elite Razor review on the main page.
I’m kinda in the same proportional situation and I’ve been looking for next season. So far the P2C is close, the new Specialized transition might work, the new Jamis is a possibility, and the aluminum QRs look like they would fit. In the end, though, I think I’ll end up going with a custom. Yaqui’s are excellent (I currently own one in the standard geometry, but would consider the DE for a new one), but I’m also interested in seeing what Guru has to offer next year (new forks I hear), and there is always the custom Parlee… 
If, by chance, you need more votes to back up everyone elses suggestion - save yourself years of screwing around with poor fitting bikes (like I did) and go custom.
I’m 5’10" with very long legs and short torso. My bike measurements probably wouldn’t be a good fit for you but proportionally we have the same problem.
I’ve owned a 55cm aluminum P3 (before the carbon came out), a 51cm P2 aluminum and now I have a 51cm orbea ordu.
I went from the 55cm cervelo to the 51cm cervelo because I just couldn’t get close enough to the aerobars even with the seat all the way forward and a very short (60mm) stem. I wanted a shorter top tube. I went from the 51cm cervelo to the 51cm ordu because I decided I wanted carbon and got a good deal on the frame and the fork of the Ordu.
One thing I learned about having a short stem is that I just don’t like them - way to twitchy. Being that I also have very long arms (as well as legs) I now use a 90mm stem and standard vision base bars. My hands reach the brakes easily. However if I were to use the vision aerobars with a 90mm stem (the aeropads on the vision aerobars are not adjustable fore and aft) on top of the vision base bars I would either: a) have to rest the middle of my forearm on the aeropad or b) have to stretch out to get my elbows or the end of my forearm on the aeropad. Neither one of these options is comfortable for a HIM let alone an IM.
I decided to go with an adustable aerobar and after trying a few on the market I went with the aluminum profile t2 cobra (at least I think that’s what it is called). The aeropads are sitting way behind the stem. The only disadvantage I have found for this configuration is that I have to be very, very careful when I stand because my knees hit the aeropads. I get around this by not standing much. I also had to take great care to make sure my seat is level. If the nose of the saddle points down at all I slip forward and again my knees hit the aeropad.
I’m in the same boat. My custom road bike has a 59cm equivalent seat tube and 53 top tube. My TT bike is a stock Planet X in medium with really long seat pin.
I find that it’s perfectly comfortable, but then again I’m only riding short distances on it. Stock geometry also means not having to worry about toe overlap
You other option might be to ride some female bikes. These tend to be made for long legs and short torsos. Plus, you can get really girly colours which you triathletes really seem to have got into recently 
(PS. yes, I’m a roadie and no, I don’t approve of bikes in colours other than white!)http://
If you choose not to go custom, QR might be an option.
Doesn’t have to be custom necessarily.

I have the same build and I ride an Argon 18 Mercury. I tried other frames but this worked best. I agree with others that a fitting is your 1st priority. A fitter could provide which bikes would fit you best. Of course they’ll try and sell you what they offer, but feel free to take those #s somewhere else too.
All my road bikes are stock. A med Giant tcr with a long seatpin, and likewise for the road bike and P3 (both 56cm). the winter bike is a 60 with a really short stem.
My track iron is a 65cn seat tube with a 56 top tube. Ok it’s a low pro, but the idea’s the same.
I know of a used bike you may want to check out.
I PM’ed you.
