How the stacks, stack up....

(S) Nazare stack = 539mm
(S) Propel = 534mm
(S) Nitrogen = 533mm (calculated)
(S) Cervelo S3 = 530mm
(S) Scott foil = 527mm
(S) AR1 = 523mm
(S) Fuji Transonic = 497mm

My BMC SLX01 had a stack of around 517mm (calculated), and I ran a slammmed -10 degree, 100mm stem. So With the -12 degree stem I want. Which drops the bars 3mm. I'm looking at around 520mm of stack. Basically anything from the S3 upwards needs a -17 deg stem.

stack of midget stacks

Interesting, pretty sure the Propel ends up taller than the Naz on the larger sizes.

It'd quite like a propel. The stack and 1 1/4" stem make it a non-starter I think. And (most importantly) the paint is not too nice. Bikes are tools etc but but use the wrong typeface and... I'm out. #tart

But once you get Down to a shortlist of 5 or 6 bikes. They are probably all great, and will do the job at hand brilliantly. So you might as well buy based on typeface.
