I'll be glad to help you with that.  It's a little trig on top of the 
numbers given in the Geo Charts.  The two universal terms are Stack and 
Reach.  The Stack is the elevation gain relative to the BB spindle.  the 
Reach is the horizontal distance relative to the BB.  

STACK:

64cm Sam:  67.2cm    68cm Bombadil:  71.4cm


REACH:

64cm Sam:  43.7cm   68cm Bombadil:  45.0cm

These numbers would need to be tweaked just a little bit to account for the 
head tube extension above the top of the top tube, but for relative 
comparisons, they are accurate.  If you put the same bar and stem on both 
bikes and put them at max height, on the 68cm Bombadil, the bars would be 
about 4cm higher and about 1.3cm farther forward.  

Contact me offlist if you want the math background.  I can give you a 
spreadsheet if you need it.
