crush 18 cans of beer on your forehead. Stack them on top of each other. That's how tall it is.

Ok, I actually have one. I measure 19 to 20 cm, depending on exactly where you need to drill it, such as if your bag has the thick aluminum brace at the top. But, I think the most important thing is to set it up on your rack with the decaleur and eyeball, measure, and consider carefully - you don't have many chances to drill it before you've ruined it.

I've been looking at this too, as i ride 25" to 27" frames, but they are so damn huge? i have no idea how i would a) fill it up or b) reach all my food that fell to the bottom of the bag.

Makes me wonder about a bag rack that used the stem bolt and barend plugs as anchor points. I don't need a anything that big, either.
Hmmmmmmm….

I have a 28, nitto front rack & VO decaleur for threadless headset . 63 cm frame with uncut steerer tube just used different sized spacers for a perfect fit . Funny thing I bought these bags before the frame, honjo fenders too & racks. Came out good.
Cheers
