KHS Flite 100//Mercier Kilo TT - Stack and Reach for the 57 and 60??
Believe me I have searched - Looking to build up another track bike out of existing parts and I cannot find Stack and/or Reach measurements for the Kilo Flite 100//KHS in 57 and 60cm. Anyone out there care to provide the Stack and Reach measurements for a 57 and/or 60 or at least know where I might them?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know, and I seriously doubt anyone else here will know either. I've never needed this information when choosing frame sizes, and am curious as to why you feel it is necessary.

Stack and Reach (along with TT Length) are the primary metrics I use to figure out how I might fit on a bike. I picked up this habit while riding and thinking about Timetrial/triathlon bikes. A bike's Reach takes the effect of the seat angle on TT length out of the equation.
Currently we have a very old Gitane (60X58), Cannondale Caad5 (63x60) and a converted triathlon Cervelo P3 (58X59) in use as track and/or roller bike. The Gitane has some old school extreme characteristics that make it less than fun for me to race - 95cm wheelbase with 58cm front center - so I am considering building up a fun Cat 4/5 race bike for the summer.

These measurements are readily calculable from the regular geometry chart since it has a horizontal top tube.
The 57 has a stack height of 548mm and a reach of 418mm.
The 60 has a stack height of 577mm and a reach of 441mm.

I think you can use geometry to compute Reach and Stack if you know the top tube and seat tube lengths, and the seat tube angle. This is assuming a horizontal TT and that the TT and ST lengths are c-c.
Edit: prooftheory beat me to it.

Stack = ST x SIN(STA)
Reach = TT - ST x COS(STA)
Where:
ST = seat tube length (c-c)
TT = horizontal top tube length
STA = seat tube angle

Also looking for Kilo TT reach and Stack
I have a Mercier kilo TT size 50. I have been looking for the reach and stack numbers for a year And finally found it useful thread. Thank you for the formula! I’m looking to get a new frame since the reach on the TT is too long.
