Does anyone know if there is a good chart that show stack and reach for different tri bikes so you can compare? I am looking to switch from a Specialized Shiv (size medium - circa 2011) to a new Ceepo Katana but want to be sure I cam achieve the same set up on the Ceeop without going to alot spacers. Thanks in advance for any help.

The general problem with these tri-bike comparisons comes down to the aerobar system utilized. If you were to use the same system on both then the easy comparisons work. When you change bars/extensions/stems then the comparison inputs increase quickly. Pad/stack reach is what you need for the front fit. And then you need the distance from the center of the stem handlebar clamp or the center/bottom of the stem to the pad/stack reach location with each bar system. This is a hit or miss spec with bar manufacturers:(
