Finally, your reach determines how long the frame should be. Most people I see riding bikes in London have their hands far too long, and far too low. You should be able to sit with your lower back concave, and still be able to reach the bars without rounding your shoulders
Is that riding like Miss Marples Bill...?
I take it then with drops, on the bar tops your back should be concave and in the drops convex...?
I used this to fit up a EAI bareknuckle

and this confirmed it when I found someone to come and measure me

Monday I am off to Mercian to be fitted for a custom frame
I'll let you know if how this compares but I don't have a funny shaped head
So I guess I'll be alright...;)
