Exactly. We don't even know where the OP lives. Some of these comments would be laughed at by someone living near the equator or most places South of it.

When I started diving deeper into all of this bar and stem geometry when I designed our bars, I built myself a handy little tool to play around with cockpit geometries that takes bar roll into account. Stack and Reach is taken into account, depending on bar roll, but I have not yet found a way to calculate the sweep angles, as a function of bar roll. Either it's very complicated or I am just not seeing the forest for the trees. Brain gets mushy after some time of trigonometrics, espoecially in excel. But it's quite fun to play with.

I will never understand what is with you people and stem lengths. Stem length in itself does not matter at all. All that matters is where your grips end up being. You can achieve same bar position with 30mm stem and 50mm rise bar and with 50mm stem with 20mm rise bar. Or maybe someone with 30 mm stem and forward roll on bars and ends up being in simmilar position as someone with 50mm stem with backwards roll. What we should be meaasuring is middle of grip offset from center of rotation and that is all that could matter...

Here is your difference in steering bwetween a 70mm stem and a 35mm stem with straight 800mm bars. A video to make the scribbely lines more understandable: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bYf6TE4obQUwvhJG7 As you can see, the rotation diameters are virtually same (406mm vs 401mm). That's about a 1% difference. Your hands will travel about the same amount: 212mm vs. 210mm for a 30° handlebar turn. That's less than a 1% difference. What is slightly different is, of course the the "angle of attack" from which your hand will start moving, but that is because a longer stem will stretch your upper body position...

Does a bike shop never consist of indoor & outdoor areas? The OP never specified the wash station has to go inside the building. I have seen bike shops with outdoor bike prep, wash, and staging areas. Some are sheltered, some are not.

The insertion depth on that seat tube is ace. Other brands, take notice!
