So I would again encourage you to put your numbers into wrench science, it will at least allow you to narrow down your search.
Just out of curiosity, I went and plugged my numbers into the Wrench Science tool. It told me the two things I already suspected:
  1. Wider bars wouldn't hurt--44cm vs. the 42cm I have now.
  2. My saddle could stand being raised a couple of centimeters.


Otherwise, the numbers matched up with my bike almost spot on. Very cool. I've never actually had a bike fit, but then again, I've never had many complaints about the way my bike fits--other than the small hand issue that I solved by replacing the brifters--so it was neat to see that I got so close despite my ignorance when bike shopping. Heh.
