i did not know how difficult it is to take these measurements from existing bikes.
most of my old bikes are too stretched for touring:
even my beautiful rocky mountain which gives a speedy and comfortable ride for a couple of hours is not suited for a tour. the ride is too stretched. ideal for the mountains and for fast cityrides, not very comfortable for 8 hours in the saddle in a row.
so i unpacked my 35 year old touring bike MADE IN GERMANY by HKS:
i took the measurements from this bike and i hope i will get a bikefriday that will emulate this ride...
bb to saddle: 29.92
ground to bars: 41.92 inches
crankarm also 175 cm
saddle to bar: 24.8 inches
ground to saddle: 40.413 inches
