Height 183
Inseam 91
Wingspan 190
Use 79.5 bb to saddle top
Most frames are 55-56.5 top tubes. With 120-110mm stems.
Narrow shoulders so use 40cm ctc bars.
Eg colnagos -
C59 56T with 120mm stem
V2R 54S with 110mm stem.
Run about 11cm drop.

Good thread, I kinda do statistics for living.
My data:
Height: 182
Inseam: 88
Saddle height: 79 (a tip from a local bikefitter guru, saddle height = inseam - 9cm is a very good starting point for fitting many people around this height - in my case no adjustments were needed).

How are people measuring their leg length?
Tailors inseam?
Cycling inseam (via a hardback book)?
Other?
Using cycling inseam:
Height: 195cm
Legs: 91cm
Ratio: 0.47
I'm well aware I have a long back - I sit 6 inches taller than my friend of the same height.

FWIW I took my inseam length from a bike fitting session.
