I've now measured all over the bike and here are the stats:
TT - c-to-c (head tube to seat tube) = 21"
Standover height c-to-c (centre of crank spindle to where TT meets seat tube) = 9.75"
CS length - c-to-c (centre of crank spindle to centre of rear wheel) = 15.75"
BB height = 11.6"
I'm also running Sunday's tall T bars @8.75"

So by my reckoning if I find a frame for a 20" with a standover height of say 8.5-9", and TT length of 21 then I'd need taller bars to get the same feel in height.

Example - Sunday 3rd wave has an 8.5" standover, 21" TT, so I'd need a 10" bar for it to feel the same as my Faction!
Mind you the Fit lurch might cut it - standover of 8.75", TT of 21,25 - would give more length room but tall bar of 9.75" is needed.

I suppose I can use headspacers but suddenly S&M's 10" bar becomes more interesting.....

Then again there is the new Amero frame...

This is starting to sounds like some slight ocd. I understand some deep thinking but wow. My opinion on bike fit is to get something that fits a rider of my stats. From there, there can be slight adjustments made by changing out components based on the ride. I honestly haven't done research on your history of riding, you might've been riding for many moons. But dude, three threads on really the same subject?

. . . . But dude, three threads on really the same subject?

as much as i like to talk about alternative ideas in bicycling . . . i agree: better to keep 22" / Faction things in one thread. !$&!

fair enough, it's been a looooong week in work and with all the snow and ice here I haven't been able to get out on the bike
