[MENTION=323735]romperrr[/MENTION], which measurements? The peddle spindle center to top of saddle is approximately 38 inches regardless of which bike I ride. The top of saddle to rail distance varies based on the saddle. Crank length varies slightly too, so I always set up my saddle height based on the peddle spindle center line.
Someone I knew suggested I keep raising the saddle until my butt started rocking left and right, then back off. This adjustment raised the saddle a lot and I found it far more comfortable. Changing height by 1/4" increments is what I do until I get near the right spot. Saddles will cause a slight variation as they are often flexible enough to make a slight difference.
