This is why some people are going with stack and reach, but nobody has gotten used to it yet.

Kona has sloping top tubes and they go by center-center distance so their sizes are way off from what you would expect. 5cm on a big frame.

You can adjust the seat post if the seat tube length is off, and get another stem if the top tube measurement is off, but if the top of the head tube is too tall, there is very little you can do. So stack is a pretty important number, and nobody cares what it is.
