Currently If I try to raise the bars the RAD becomes too long and the only way to mitigate this would be to find bars with a huge sweep back but then the bars will be behind the steering axle with a negative value SHO
So it appears I need to swap out to a smaller frame at which point I can achieve near perfect RAAD SHO and RAD.I think this is the predicament that Kidneys was referring to and I suspect it was in jest…
It sounds like you’re heavily invested in this glorified stack and reach RAD business and maybe not open to just trying high rise bars!
So I’ll echo what snottyotter says, 50% of retail is what I’d aim to pay.
But I’ll say it just one more time, I’d try spending 2.5% of retail on high rise bars first.

Nothing important.
But you work in a bike shop and @kidneys thinks an LBS will help with this question “ if I can find someone selling a secondhand frame how much should it be. Brand new the aether 9c is £1740 what kind of ballpark should I look to pay for a second hand one?”
