Ed now you have confused me. Just elucidate @Bezzin that he seems no dino and any longish frame should fit, even a Cannondale. If he wanted a Genesis he is not only stupid but did not do his homework as Mosquito have one of the more experienced bike fittings in London.

Okay, I've sat down and calculate it.
Saddle setback is useful, it allow me to find the BB to stem length, which is 475mm (85 - 560) up to bar center.
let stick with 475mm, as the stem is angled rather than horizontal.
For the stack (up to bar center);
770mm saddle height and the drop, 75mm, that give me 695mm.
stack with bar center - 695mm
reach with bar center - 475mm
Using this, I can't do it reverse but can put a bicycle geometry on it and it also show the stack with spacer and stem as well, (bottom on the purple section).
The Genesis in XL have (with 120mm stem as listed on their site);
Stack (with spacer and stem) - 694mm*
Reach (with spacer and stem) - 507mm*
*with 45mm of spacer headset and stem stack.
Bear in mind that all this calculation could easily be wrong as I'm a dreadful mathematician, but hopefully those who shine a little with math can easily correct it.
