I’m looking for advice. I was fit at a reputable bike shop and these are my most comfortable numbers. I am looking for some advice on which bike to buy for mainly 70.3 and 140.6 distance triathlons. My budget is $4000.00. I am not quite sure how to translate these numbers to the appropriate frame via the stack and reach tables. Please help/advise. Thanks.
I consider myself somewhat stack/reach literate and I’m struggling to get there with your graph. You were given fit coordinates to the arm pads, which I believe means you need to figure out how to back out the fit coordinates of whatever bar you want to use and stem.
I’m thinking if you assume pads 3cm above bar, and a -6 degree stem, and a 4cm stem height your stack is around 540-550?
I’m also thinking if you add the 5cm + 44 = 49 - 9cm stem = ~ 400 reach?
Those are very rough guesses though. This may be something to talk with the fitter about.
If you are in that range, maybe a ML Tall Parlee? Nytro has them for sub $4000.
your very reputable shop would be the best place to start asking these questions, they should be able to offer some advice as part of the fitting.
if not, e mail me that solidworks file and I can help you out.
