I’m right there with you, Richard. I think PBH gets you in the ballpark, but I always feel like a bit of an oddball whenever I read Rivendell talk about how to figure it in relation to saddle height. For example, I’m 5’8” with a 84cm PBH. However, my saddle height is consistently 71-72cm across all
