Is the chart up to date accurate though? When I inquired about a 62cm. Hunq frame, I was informed the TT was more like 64 or 64.5cm , I can't remember which. That would change some other dimensions as well. The chart shows the original specs, but nothing new as far as I can tell. -- You

There may be a misunderstanding here. I think you'll find stated on line 2 of Dave's chart that the number given for the 6 degree TT bikes is the theoretical length. The internet spreadsheet looks to me consistent with the previous pdf I downloaded and also from when I talked with Jay on the day
