After bike fit, how to select a bicycle
Hi everyone,
I recently had a professional fit done on my Nashbar Carbon 105 bicycle. Using the RETUL system, we found that my current setup was nearly ideal for me after a little bit of tweaking. The frame stack and reach are 535 and ~386, respectively. As part of the fit, I have a full set of measurements from the computer system which includes the total handlebar stack and reach (623mm, 472mm).
I have been looking to upgrade my bicycle and frames with similar geometry would be the Specialized Tarmac, Cannondale SuperSix Evo, etc, but I realize that even with the more endurance oriented frames like the Specialized Roubaix, I could slam the stem and increase the stem length and accomplish the same fit on that frame. Would that frame not be ideal for me? I haven't considered these types of frames up until this point because I thought it wouldn't be ideal based on the stack and reach from my fit.
Thank you in advance.
