Since the majority of stems have a 7 degree rise, would that not be the case with integrated bar/stems?
With stems, you just flip it. Most are used as -7, not +7. With one piece bar/stem the bars would be upside down. It's apparently not practical to make both plus and minus models.
Curious if there are integrated bar and stems on the market that have these dimensions.
maybe you should read the first post again.

Geometry seems to be misunderstood here-
When you take a 73 degree angle head tube angle and put a - 7 degree stem on it, the stem is NOT horizontal- it is actually rising upwards at 10 degrees
You need a minus 17 degree stem to have a horizontal stem. The point is that nearly everyone is riding with an upward slopng stem....

You seem to be the only one arguing about / confused about this.
We are taking about stem angles in isolation. So do all fitters. A fitter is not going to tell you that you need a stem that is angled at 10deg off the horizon when accounting for frame geometry. He’s going to tell you need an X degree, Y length stem in combination with Z reach bars to achieve the right grip/lever coordinates relative to the BB.

Sorry for the confusion, was meant to be 7degrees (not percent) rise.
Just wondering if there is an integrated or semi integrated handlebars that have a rise instead of being flat or negative.
Hmmm...when your b/f result calls for a total reach of 160mm and 7° rise (assume that's on top of your current spacer stack), I'd say
- the current bike is on the edge if being too long (long reach)
- the current bike might be (depending on current spacer stack) too low/aggressive (low stack).
What bike is it that you have been fitted on and what spacers are installed? Asking as looking for a different bike/frame might be a smarter option...
Cheers
Niko
Thanks for the advice.
The bike is a 2022 Trek Emonda, 58CM frame

Recently got a bike fit with the following geometry:
Handlebar width: 42
Handlebar reach: 80
Stem length: 80
Stem rise: 7 degree
With a stem length of 80 mm, seems like a narrower bar would be called for as well.

I thought the majority of stems had +/- 6° rise?

Something (well, maybe a few things) wierd is going on there. On the XY data the delta between Sx and Hx has only changed by 8mm, but the measured saddle bar drop has changed by 20mm. Did you change saddles?

Yes, I am switcihng to 42, from the current 44. This is why im looking for an integrated option, but I haven't seen any that have a 7 degree rise, they all seem to have a negative slope. I may be wrong though!

I did! Changed from OEM which was much narrower to a 155.

Another thing, the saddle setback is given as 22mm (old fit 23mm) from midpoint of saddle to BB centre - which means the tip would be in front of the BB? Even for tip to BB that is quite far forward.
Aside from that, I don't think there are integrated bars available with a positive stem angle. You'll be looking at a separate stem and bar (which in my view is not a bad thing but that's another discussion).

I just assumed the fitter was being lazy with annotation and that one measurement was in cm. Only way it makes sense (or is even physically possible).

So let’s cut to the chase. An 80mm stem (w/80mm bars) with a +7deg rise plus that many spacers on a 58cm Emonda is utterly inappropriate. If the fitter has done his job correctly, that means you bought the wrong bike for your morphological condition. Your fit is even on the upper extreme for most endurance frame geometries.
You will not find an integrated bar that will give you the necessary grip x/y position…you don’t have enough steerer left to go with something like a -7deg 90mm stem / 70mm bar equivalent.
So you’re stuck with this kind of setup unless you suddenly become more flexible and are able to both get lower while also hinging at your hips rather than painfully curling your back/spine. Your next bike should have a frame with ~20mm shorter reach and ~40mm higher stack.
