Hi All! I am new here and have decided I want to get a speed concept but I am not sure what size to get. I already bought the wrong size bike once so I would prefer to not do that again. I have a local Trek store nearby but the store is brand new and after talking to them I am almost certain they have never built a bike for a triathlete before. Here are my measurements from my fit about a month ago (file attached). Thanks in advance!

Saddle height - 719mm
Frame stack - 514mm (too small)
Handlebar reach - 497mm
Grip reach - 773mm

Looking at the charts, You are probably looking at a small or a medium. One thing to note is our pad measurement is from the center where most are from the back, in this case it would make your fit on the two frames as follows...

If you went for a small, the following would match best:
  • High-Far stem
  • WITH a 25mm mono spacer
  • AND a long 15mm offset seat post
If you went for a medium, the following would match
  • Medium-Near stem OR Medium-Far stem
  • WITH a 25mm mono spacer OR 35mm mono spacer
  • AND a long 15mm offset seatpost

In the end, the medium should be the best fit giving you the most room to adjust it if you ever changed your fit. The small would be limiting and the High stem wouldn't be as visually appealing.
