The way to calculate it, in lieu of the official measurement, is to add the the bb drop (usually 67-80) to the axle-crown measurement of the fork (700c road forks are USUALLY around 368-373; cx are longer) to the ht length. (BBD+AC+HT)

If you like having your bars relatively high, this is one of the most important measurements you can take.

If you need a default measurement (if you can't find the axle to crown measurement, which is the only one of the three that isn't always published), I would just look at several carbon forks and average them out.

E.g. for a road bike, ENVE forks are 367 A-C, while Alpha Qs were 373. (Or maybe it's the reverse, but you get the point). So if you assume 370 for a standard road fork, you'll probably be within 3mm of correct. For a CX fork, look for the ENVE & Ritchey CX fork specs; they're probably within a few mm of each other. Split the difference and use that number.

This is the only reliable way to tell if you'll be able to get the bars high enough for you. Oh, and make sure the steerer is long enough, too. HT+(~25mm for headset)+Stem height (usually ~40mm)+whatever height you need in spacers.

Boy, if your head wasn't hurting before... ; )

Anybody still looking at this..?
I'm finding it really difficult to find a good off the rack frame...

20+ HT
100cm saddle height

holy hell. what's your true inseam (floor to taint)? im 6'2 and have a 35.2inch (89.5cm) inseam, and saddle height is about 80.5cm. ETT is about 58 for me with 110mm stem, and HT is 190+1.5cm spacers.

HA. I think I once measured it at about 37ish inseam. and keep in mind: i'm measuring my saddle height from ToS to Center of pedal spindle. to the bottom bracket I'm at 83cm. 100cm to bottom bracket would be circus freak territory...

I'm 5'6 and 152 pounds. People hate getting behind me in the paceline. Sad, very sad.

But, thank you to all of you bigger guys out there. We do appreciate you.

That's a good thing for us fellow tall paceliners. I collectively call "dibs" for all of us that all of you sell off have to be listed here first!!!

6'3", and long in torso; not so much in legs. I ride a 58 cm bike with 58.5 cm TT with a 120 stem and a long-reach bar. At least I'm more or less consistent!
