The measurement taken in the diagram above is subtracted from your overall height to give Leg Length.
Your Leg Length ought to be 40mm greater than Stand Over height.
If this is true and you are of 'Average Caucasian' proportions, a mass produced frame should fit in Top Tube Length with a 100mm reach stem.
