I suppose I could email a company that is selling this frameset, but figure some people here have this frame and can do a quick measurement for me. Most likely people that own this frame already know this measurement anyway.

Thanks.

Here are 2 off the top of my head. They can help you much better than me.
What confused me was how you defined them. Didn't make any sense.

"Stack as in center of bottom bracket to top of headtube."

"Reach as in center of bottom bracket to center of headtube"

Both of these would result in a diagonal line, from the BB to somewhere on the head tube.

Stack is the measurement of a vertical line that runs through the center of the bottom bracket, and intersects an imaginary line that runs through a horizontal line that stems from the top of the head tube.

Reach is the distance from a vertical line through the center of the bottom bracket and a vertical line through the center of the top tube.

Gimme a couple minutes, I'll trig it up, see if we come up with the same answers. What size frame?
