Its rivendell bicycles site. It have some insight on measuring for touring and not for racing.
I think Riv puts way too much emphasis on seat tube length at the expense of top tube length, although it helps that their bikes are somewhat designed around this principle. Bikes not designed that way (like the 520) can be harder to fit that way.
