Yes, the combo bar/stem comes in a variety of stem length / bar widths, and it is sized based on the frame size. So, I'm getting the smallest 47cm frame size (seat tube length), and the bar/stem has a 8cm long stem and a 38cm wide bar, which is exactly what fits me. Also, I chose my frame size based on the top tube length rather than the seat tube length. The largest 62cm frame has a 11cm long stem and a 44cm wide bar. However, if this had not worked for me, then my shop was willing to swap it out with a conventional separate bar and stem setup. This would be the case for anyone with unusual proportions, such as very short legs and very long torso.
