Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How to use fit calculator data

So I measured and ran all my numbers through competitive cyclist calculator, and besides me being weirdly proportioned, I am not sure quite how to use this information. It says a TT length of 60.4 or so, but does that include (or can that) include a setback seatpost, or is that a function of the saddle setback measure? For example, if I wanted to get closer to that 60.4-60.8 TT on a 59.0 TT frame, would a setback seatpost with a 1cm offset get me to 60, or is it changing too much my knee's position vis-à-vis the crank? Or would I be better off with a 60.5 TT and a zero setback seatpost?
Here are my odd measurements

Seat tube range c-c: 58.0 - 58.5
Seat tube range c-t: 59.8 - 60.3
Top tube length: 60.4 - 60.8
Stem Length: 12.8 - 13.4
BB-Saddle Position: 83.5 - 85.5
Saddle-Handlebar: 60.5 - 61.1
Saddle Setback: 5.7 - 6.1

Thanks for the help guys!
