Input all the specs from your old bike (select in the drop down menu) and adjust the stem and spacer info to get to the new position you want on the new bike. You will need to know the specs of both frames. This will get you an Hx Hy measurement which is the center of the bore for the handlebars. If using the same bars then no problem, however if they are different then add or subtract the difference of handlebar reach measurements to your current setup ( add if new bars reach is greater than old, opposite if shorter). That will give you the position to the hoods! Makes the numbers equal as possible and your positions will be the same, if you want higher or lower, more reach or less, make adjustments within the calculator.
Thanks for the site , appreciate sharing it , however my frame year is not listed there so i had to do the work manually through geomtry chart data vailable online and manual measurements , as i have 4 cm of spacers already on old frame and around 3 cm difference in stack and head tube height , i will start with like 5 cm of spacers and other 2 cm above the stem , have sometime testing the frame as other members advised and decide later if i want to cut the fork more or not ..
