Yeah, I went from a typical 44cm "compact" bar, to a 43cm Easton Equipe, which has almost 30mm more reach-- so it sits at the exact same reach with an 80mm stem as the old bar did with a 110mm. Recently, I just changed STIs, and the reach feels different yet again. The stem is only one part of the reach, along with the bar and the STIs.
