I know I could get a rough idea by munising the radius of my head tube and seat tube, but this does not seem very exact.
Suggestions welcome!
Cheers
OP; I will avoid saying "Google" or U-Tube or RTFM...
However the info you request is rather readiliy available in any frame building book, class, related site or design tool, as well as on most any site for companies that sell tubing notchers on Amazon, etc.
To get you started today, recommend go to the top of the framebuilders forum that you posted in and find the thread for the framebuilding suppliers. Click on Nova Cycles and look along their lower left menu. You'll find this link:

Hope that helps get you started.
