Kai , you would hear of such a measurement from many custom frame builders . Each builder though may measure it in their own way, maybe from a specific point of the shoulder, etc. They often ask a whole lotta measurements . For mass market frames though , seat tube size by far rules .
Of course there is more to it than just measurements , as I mentioned there are many intangibles like flexibility and personal preferences of all kinds. While I understand the Riv Philosophy of PBH and fit and that it works for them, to me it also over generalizes like all "formulas" , which by their very nature, are limited. To me feeling centered within the bike , when the bike "disappears" beneath you, is the most important thing and no formula can tell you that, it just comes from knowing yourself and what works for you. I can't put it into words adequately as even words themselves are limited, you just know it when you experience it :) On Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 9:46:42 PM UTC-4, Kainalu wrote: > > But how is it that I never hear talk of pit to palm measures.
