Geometry for Cevrelo R3 and for Canyon CF SLX (at bottom of page)
120mm stem on a 50cm frame?

I still don't see what you mean, are you looking for handling or positioning? For body position reach and stack are important but wheelbase and standover height aren't. Handling I don't think you can automatically predict from a geo chart anyway.
I got myself a Ulti CF SL since January. Awesomest bike ever for me. Fit is just perfect, no pain anywhere.
My data:
inseam: 82cm
torso: 61cm
shoulder: 40cm
arm length: 62cm
I ordered from Canyon with a custom stem, 110mm and I changed the seat post to the one with 10-25mm offset.
My crank arm length is 170mm. I'm using Fizik Antares saddle, about -1.5% angle.
I'll get the measurements of my bike later and post here.
Tip of saddle to mid of headtube
Top of saddle to mid of BB

to OP, no offense, but your questions are not clear and don't make sense. I would suggest you engage a search on either google or this fine website for "stack and reach" and then study up on road bike geometry and what it translates in to for a frame your size. Then seek some professional fitting advise for the correct size frame. You are about to drop $3-$4K down on a new bike...a $250 fitting will be invaluable. EM3

stack and reach are important of course but of equal importance is the position of the body on the bike, frame's angles, wheelbase, bb height, chainstay length etc.

120mm on 49cm. Head tube on mine is 120mm
OP likely has short inseam and long torso like me. Wheelbase is important due to toe overlap and standover is important to us too.

Umm the CR1SL pictured has 978mm wheelbase. Both my CAAD10 and CAAD9 in 52cm have 968mm wheelbase. Ergo I get more toe overlap on the Cannondales even though they are 1 size larger
So, yes; really
