Here are some specs for my 2006 Carryme with everything at full extension. When I say, "center top of saddle" I mean where the seat tube line crosses the saddle surface.

Permanent measurements:
Wheelbase- 29.5"
BB height- 10"

Stock configuration measurements:
Distance from center of handlebars to center top of saddle- 20.5" (handlebars and top of saddle are at the same height so this is also the horizontal distance)
Distance from left pedal nut in 9 o'clock position to center top of saddle- 31"
Distance from bottom of saddle to rear rack- 22" (back of saddle is directly over rear rack, so this is also the vertical distance. forget a saddle bag...you can put a whole suitcase under your saddle!)
Crank length- 170mm (6.69")

If you want to replace handlebar stem (the piece shaped like a 7), cranks, and/or saddle:
Center of BB to center of saddle rail bracket- 25"
Distance from top of stem riser to center of saddle rail bracket- 17" (these are at the same height so this is also the horizontal distance...I believe this would be called the effective toptube length)

As with most folders with angled seat tubes and stem risers, replacing replace the seat tube and/or stem riser with longer ones can increase both horizontal and vertical distances, but of course if these are too long then you might get excessive flex.

2007 Carryme has had some design changes. I don't know if any of these measurements are affected.

Sorry I'm too lazy to photoshop and picture.
