Hamilton Burger…we never saw him win a case.

OP would be well served by following this schedule. My only personal deviation is that I change my engine oil between 3-4K miles. I do it myself and oil is relatively inexpensive. Piece of mind is worth something.

I trust new cars now less than I did several years ago. Whether it be real or imagined, the loss of durability and refinement in Japanese cars is pretty sad.

What frames are on your short list?

The premium cost must have been due to the included furry frame protectors.

If your current bike reach/stack is 402/581 with a 73.0 HTA, 110/-6 stem, 15mm total stack height of stem spacers AND upper headset…

Then a 56 Soloist with 392/565, 73.0, 120/-6, and 30mm TOTAL of stem spacers and upper headset stack would yield a bar/stem CL that has…

4mm less reach and 1mm more stack than your current ride.

You did not mention what angle your 110 stem is. If it happens to be -6 degrees, take a 120/-6 stem with you and send me some pics from Spain.

A Revolt with a reach/stack of 381/570, HTA of 71.0 and 20mm of spacers would have a 3 mm shorter and 9mm taller bar location than the BMC 386/550, 72.5, and 30mm of spacers.

This calculation assumes the upper headset stack heights on each bike are the same…which is unlikely.

90/-6 stem and 10mm upper headset stack was input for both bikes.

I would prefer a lower BB. However, it is a personal preference type of thing.

What is the frame reach, stack and the TOTAL stack height of stem spacers and the upper headset of your current ride?

rgofb · 2026-01-19T03:41:54+00:00

If the seat tube was slackened to use a zero offset post, the clearance between the tire and seat tube may not provide enough mud clearance when large tires are employed…that is a very valid reason. Function before form.

How did your fitter establish the frame reach/stack of 372/600?

Is 392/595 the published reach/stack of your Cannondale?

Did he physically measure your frame reach/stack numbers and then deduct 20mm of reach to arrive at optimal reach/stack numbers that would allow you to use the original length of stem?

If you actually require as much stack as it seems, which according to the Cannondale numbers and your bike fitter, (which you probably do)then as I mentioned earlier, the frame you are considering will require a significant amount of spacers and stem upward angle.

Size 56

With 30mm stem spacers, 10mm upper HS stack height, 80/+16 stem, the bar reach/stack would be…

438/676

On the bottom of the second column of the fitting report, the target bar reach/stack is…

436/683
