to the top of the saddles, the road bike is 29", the folder 28.5".

Seat height is set so my legs will lock out using my instep over
the pedal. i.e.very near as high as it will go, with no consideration
of being able to touch the ground sat in the saddle for the height.

rgds, sreten.
Center of crank? So then that method completely ignores crank arm length, which makes the "method" pretty much useless. I think it's purely coincidental that your inseam seems to match the crank center to saddle measurement on your bikes.
