Actually would taller riders have a centre of gravity further forward than shorter riders? I guess it depends if you're taller because of long legs or long torso. But, if you have a long torso then presumably you have more weight forward which means you might get more hand issues rather than saddle issues?

Isn't this basically what bike fitting is to fix?

Yeah, but I'm not trying to fix it, just thinking about taller rider weight distrib and if it changes or ends up the same. I'm not suddenly growing another 30cm so it's not an actual issue.
