I never really bothered to measure my arms like that. All I know is my legs are about 49 percent of my total height and my gorilla factor is 1.06. I've been Fit Kitted and Retuled a couple times. Fit Kit at the time didn't deal with handlebar height, so it was pretty useless. Retul suggested only minor changes. My recipe for sizing a bike is, kinda short in the top tube and not too tall up front. Trek H1.5, Giant TCR, or Scott Addict. That said, I'm on an older H2 Madone, but I had to be creative to get the handlebar low enough.
