Excuse my stupidity - had a Specialized BG bike fit recently and this is my current fit:
Saddle height (BB centre to centre of saddle): 770mm
Saddle fore/aft (saddle nose in relation to BB centre): 85mm aft
Reach (saddle nose to bar centre): 560mm
Effective reach (saddle nose to hood centre): 700mm
Drop (saddle top to bar centre): 75mm (although you have dropped two spacers since) [this takes it to 85mm I guess as the spacer is 10mm]
So how do I go about translating this to a common geo chart - say the one for the Genesis Zero:

Or the SuperSix:

Just trying to make sure I understand what stack and reach etc to look for when shopping around - I know there is fine tuning to be done with spacers and stems, so I guess it's just a case of getting the closest to ideal and then dialling it in...?
