The effective reach on my 60cm Surly CC is 60.0, the 61cm Roadini almost the same, 5mm bigger. The CC is a smidge too long for me, the height is good, but my T-Rex arms needed a new fork with uncut steerer tube and the shortest highest adjustable stem I could find at the time and it was never quite right. Interesting. The seat tube lengths seem to comparable between the two, as do the angles. Very similar bikes... interesting!
