I was taking a look at the stack/reach database and wanted to ask if anyone had any information or comments on Argon 18’s sizing philosophy for its e-119 and 119+ models. The XS size has a stack and reach of 556/430 which seems like a pretty big size for XS relative to other brands in the database.
As a 6’2 guy with a stack/reach of 525/440, should I be checking out the XS… Just making sure I’m reading it right.
E-119/119+ Stack/Reach Numbers (from database):
XS- 556/430
S- 566/439
M- 581/450
L- 606/455
Any comments are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Not an expert, but I’m betting that’s pad stack, not frame stack, maybe?

Scroll down to characteristics and look at the size chart and “suggestions” by saddle height.
Edit
Looking again, look at the maximum drop at the end. Big drops for a XS, so must be pad stack. .02, YMMV, etc.

At 6’ 2" you have a pad stack of 525 and each of 440? Holy low and short, batman
Their numbers are pad reach (to centre) and pad stack
Go measure those as per http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Handlebars/Zipp_Vuka_Stealth_Vuka_Fit_3515.html
Zipp use rear of pad, so to work with Argons numbers measure to the centre.
Then look at their chart linked by another poster above and figure out where you sit
