I would pay absolutely no attention to the ouput from the CC fit calculator. It's just about worthless, IMO.
FWIW, I ride a 51cm LOOK 585 that has a 74.5 STA, 53cm TT length and 125mm HTL. I have a total head tube stack of 145mm, with the headset and one 5mm spacer. I use a 73 degree x 110mm stem to produce about a 12cm drop from the saddle to the bars. I use short reach Easton EC90 SLX3 bars to help keep the stem length at 110mm. No stubby stems for me.
Thanks for the post DaveSSS. Leg length to height ratio:
you: 0.494
me: 0.497
I will have to redo these measurements because no one's ever commented on me having freakish proportions.
I will also provide more information on my bike setup (in addition to the frame geo already posted). Are there specific measure measurements I should obtain? I'll supply the stem spacer stack height, stem length, stem angle (if I can find it). You've listed 125mm HTL. What's HTL?
Short reach bars are something I really want to look into. I almost always feel more comfortable with my hands just back from the hoods near the curve of the bars (FSA Omega OS).
