Sometimes not. The range of angles can be very small on the same frame model - 74 degrees through a 53, 73 through 59, 72.5 for a 61.
Look at the geometry charts and apply the necessary trigonometry.
OK, so roughly speaking, if we're talking the difference of .5 degrees between a M and M/L, it would only be a difference of .6cm in saddle setback? Seems like no matter the size, I need to set that saddle back kinda far.
