saddle set back is plumb line. it's going to be 60mm. or 70mm. something like that. assuming we measure in metric, which most of us do in cycling ;-) just to be sure, that's not a ton of handlebar drop. you're happy with that? i'm going to just find you your bike, to fit your position. just making sure you're happy with that position.
I know, but I don't have a metric tape and I'm a civil engineer so I normally deal in tenths and hundredth of a foot. ten years ago or so we went metric, but the old guard could not figure it out so we went back to feets and metric became a dirty word. I could convert but its the same as you doing it and doesn't make it any more precise :)
I feel my current bike is too big and I was stretched out pretty far so not happy with my fit. The actual distance nose to hood is 26-3\4" but I measured from where I typically hold on the curve of the top bar so the drop could be a little more without a problem. My seat is also slide forward on the rails as far as possible and I have a setback seatpost. FYI its a 2005 Felt F15 54cm
