I just want to compare something. Can you measure from the center of your handlebar clamp to the center of your seatpost clamp?

Just trying to plan out what stem length I need while still missing a lot of parts.

Thanks a lot!!!

Uh, what kind of riding is this for? A true DH/FR bike or something you'll pedal around too and maybe even climb with on occasion?

Strange but my XC bike(SC sl) and DH bike(SC bullit )have the same measurement. 26.5". The seat hieghts are different . dropped way down on the DH and dropped a little for most XC. Both frames are large.

i'm 5'10", the measurement is just a bit over 22.5"(i think i measured it right anyway).
quite a relaxed feel, not stretched out and not too up front, thats running a 40mm stem, feels spot on for me.
