Dude I'm way ahead of you. I've got an excel spreadsheet. #engineer

I've even calculated how the spacers and stem angle effect the stack and reach. Am I sick? Possibly.

Demo-ing is tricky right now with the 'Rona, and I'd like to try it with the correct reach and take it on a couple hour spin with some real climbs and real descents.. I can rent a Revolt though for $80/day at a shop in Brevard though. I don't think they'd mind swapping stems for $80/day, and I wouldn't mind giving it a bit of a thrashing if I'm paying them for it.

I'd like to try a Stigmata and a Crux too, maybe a new Kona Major Jake too, which is just an updated geometry, carbon version of my current bike.
