Hi Slowtwitch,

I sold my tri bike at the end of my season last year, and I am looking to buy a new one before the start of this year's race season. To make my search easier I saved the measurements from my previous bike (rough measurements, I don't think my measuring skills/methods were that good), but I am overwhelmed now that I am trying to use them to find a new bike. I was hoping yall could help me out with some suggestions!

The vital statistics:
Reach: 414 mm
Stack: 512 mm
Stem: 80 mm, -17 degrees
Bars: Profile T2, 60 mm of rise from centerline of clamp to pads

Based on the articles about fit/stack/reach/stems on this site, it seems to me like I have some wiggle room with the stack and the aero bars (i.e. I could increase/decrease the stack if I do the opposite to the rise of the pads above the base bar), but I should shy away from messing with the reach. Honestly I am unsure where all this leaves me (beyond the fact that there are a ton of possibilities) with regard to a database of stack and reach values like this one: http://www.slowtwitch.com/stackreach/index.php

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
