Other specs I got after scaling drawing:

Wheelbase: 1002
BB Drop: 80

Seems ready for some serious gravel on paper, @UnfilteredDregs
OMG, forgot about rake (crucial for figuring flop). I'm getting damn near 50mm of rake.

Wow, it must be getting boring as spit outside in the greater 41, we got all sorts of unusual visitors dropping by to say hello.
Hey fellas, we're not serving any drinks until after hours when the bars close and the forum Admins are asleep.

Speaking of the greater 41, what the heck happened in that work stand thread? Simple question, simple answers based on personal experience, now everyone wants to kill each other. Then again, sounds like typical 41 behavior.

Considering we have a reasonably sharp brain-trust within this thread I figure I'd ask here first...
So...I've been fit. I have a custom geometry, that bike will be built over the Spring and hopefully I'll have it for D2R2 2016...
Nevertheless... I have not been able to translate my fit into everyday reasonable ballpark spec's that I can use to evaluate production frames in order to satisfy the various aspects of N+1...
Without further ado, here's my geo...how do I translate this into useful information?:

The 734mm and 401mm seem to be to scale so I assume the rest is to scale which makes that headtube about 200mm long and JoeJack puts the top tube at 523mm. If that is a correct fit (which I'd be surprised if it was) for a road bike then your going to need a serious amount of up angle on the stem.
A Trek H2 fit for example with an effective top tube of 521mm is a size 50 and that has a headtube of only 130mm so you'd need to find another 70mm (nearly 3 inches) somewhere either in the steerer tube or up angled stem or both.

Aborted my Friday indoor session this AM. Supposed to be a 40 minute FTP repeat but my legs and mind just weren't into it.
I watched the rest of the people complete their tests and I swear the triathletes and TT people just about orgasm during trainer workouts.
Trainers = self-flagellation.

I met a guy today who works for countervail. Apparently they design an elastomer that makes carbon fiber more resilient and absorb shock better. We talked bikes for a few minutes, he said Bianchi has had good results with their tech. Apparently also useful in tennis racquets. Pretty cool stuff.

On another note...I don't know how you folks deal with tubes. 4 flats for me in the last two weeks, all annoying pinhole punctures.
Death by 1000 ******.
I'm so going back to tubeless...

Same results here. Scaled pic to the 782 dimension and the others seemed right.
Other specs I got after scaling drawing:
Frame Stack: 669
Frame Reach: 327
Wheelbase: 1002
BB Drop: 80
Chainstays: 440
Seems ready for some serious gravel on paper, @UnfilteredDregs

I'm having some long discussions with Mr. Rosko, the gent building my frame:

The angles on the Trek 50cm are likely so far off that the fit wouldn't work out even if he could find a long enough seatpost and tall enough stem.
