If you are referring to my post #8 , the answer is that I have long legs. I am a road bike guy so the positioning is based on my road bike measurements, pedal to top of saddle is the same. I am 5'11"+ with a CBH of 35" and this is a 20.5" frame so long seat post is a requirement. I ride a 60cm frame (Pinarello) and can go down to 58 if I have to (Colnago).
