Hey Tom, sorry just saw this. I get 17.5" for this measurement. Remember, I have the Bosco Bull bars--with the regular Bosco you could shorten this if necessary (ie, if you went with the 59 Clem, in which case you need to buy that bike on special for $1300 asap!). My saddle height on the Clem is currently 73cm, a bit on the low side, but I sometimes run my city bikes that way. At this height there is about 5.5" from the top of the seat tube to the saddle rail. The bike and the seat post could easily handle a 75cm saddle height without looking weird (in my book, anyway.)
