"The specified bb drop still throws me for a loop, when comparing it to known entities."
Can you elaborate how the BB drop of the Appaloosa throws you for a loop? A 559 wheeled Appaloosa has 55mm of drop, vs 57mm for a Clem and 55 for a 559 Hunqapillar A 584 wheeled Appaloosa has 68.9mm of drop, vs 67 for a 584 wheeled Hilsen or 67 for a Clem A 622 wheeled Appaloosa has 78mm of drop vs 80mm or a 622 Atlantis or Hunqa or Hilsen Which of those 0-2mm differences have thrown you for a loop and why? On a bike that I could run 38mm tires or 50mm tires, I think 2mm amounts to absolutely nothing.
