Normally 10 cm inserted or more is fine.

What size frame is it, and what's the head tube length?

It looks like a 54 or 56 cm frame, with a 16 cm head tube. If so, you have about the same seat height as me. It's not uncomfortable if, er, you don't find it uncomfortable.

I guess the posters here are just trying to be helpful to be fair.[/QUOTE

The frame size is 52.5. The geometry seems to be a bit different to most road bike, Truthfully, I don't understand, but at very close to 5ft 11 this is the correct size. its also set the same as my old bike which happened to be a 58, the seat is at the same height as are the handle bars, However I have to agree, it does look small.

Yep so a 56.5 cm top tube and a 16.5 cm head tube. So almost the same as my Merlin. Your top tube slopes more than on mine though hence why you have more seaport out. I have about equal to my head tube.

If current articles are to be relied on then more sharpest should build in more compliance to your ride quality. Never a bad thing in my book.
