Can someone clear something up for me? I always thought that a higher bottom bracket meant a shorter seat tube. Wouldn't that mean that a trade of higher bb and longer crank would feel the same as someone with a lower bb and shorter crank (relatively) since the distance from saddle to peddle wouldn't really change? Is this totally wrong? Is a higer bb from angled stays?

I'm pretty tall, like 6'3" and I ride a big road frame conversion. If I was to buy a track frame with a higher bb wouldn't I want longer cranks then what I am riding now to keep the same fit?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense.
