Geometry - Help!

edited February 2018 in Road buying advice
In planning for a new bike purchase, I had bike fit on my current bike to help my understand what might suit me best. My current bike now feels great, and I've got a range of Reach and Stake figures that have been suggested would suit me: Reach 387-405, Stack 570-582. I have a long back, and short legs for my height, so long and low actually suits me better.

Couple of problems:

1) I'm having real trouble finding bikes within this range (e.g. BMC SLR03)
2) I'm getting different info from different sources e.g. A Cube Agree C62 might fit, but the Cube website and Tredz website have different measurements for the same bike:

https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Agree-C-6 ... 112921.htm

Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

At the end of the day I need to do some test rides, but with 3 small kids and a busy job its difficult to make time, so I need to be as targetted as possible.

    The 56cm has 390mm reach and 573mm stack.

    At 5'10" and ~32.5" cycling inseam, I would be fine on the hoods, but being 37mm less stack than my 58cm Attain I might aggravate my lower back on the drops.

    Cervelo, 56cm. Reach 387, stack 580. Not the 2018 R5, as they dropped the stack, but the S3 and last year's R5. Or the 2018 R5 with some spacers, obvs.
  • Did they provide you with bar coordinates in the fit? And specific the bar used?
    It's much better to search on barXY as the differences in frame stack get normalised.
