What frame to achieve same position as my old bike?

Looks like I may have to replace the broken frameset from my 58cm 2008 Trek Madone 5.2 - performance fit. See my separate posts under workshop for the full story! After a lengthy fitting session but with minimal adjustments, this bike fits me like a glove. So I'll want to replicate this fit as closely as posible with any replacement frame. The geometry figures etc for my existing frame can be found at:

Is there anyone out there who might be able to save me a lot of time searching the web by suggesting other frame-sets out there of similar geometry, price (up to around £1500) and type to allow me to achieve the same fit?

I presume that the current madone 5 series frames are probably one option. But grateful please for any other suggestions?

    How many spacers did you run. Most road bikes have similar geometry The performance treks or the roubaix models from spesh just have a 3cm longer head tube.

    As to the ride and cornering there is a little variation but at your buying price nobody makes a bad frame
    Don't know the Rules?

    If you had a bike fit, you should have your 'Stack height' and 'Reach', all you have to do, is find another bike with the same measurements... :wink:

    Look here to compare most bike figures.
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
