I've now updated my design to fit my measurements, which are:
Inseam 86 0mm
Trunk 64 0
Forearm 390
Arm 70 0
Thigh 54 0
Lower leg 580
Ground to sternal notch 1510
Height 1800
I used the Competitive Cyclist fit calculator. I've used the 'French Fit' because although I do want to be fast and sporty etc., it's a lot easier to make a more touring fit sporty than make a very aggressive fit comfy for long journeys (which I intend to do from time to time)
That yielded an effective ST length of about 590mm, and an effective TT length of about 620mm. When I adjusted for the compact geometry, this is what I came up with:
Anyone notice any fatal sizing / geometry errors?
Thanks!

Edit: seems like a big gap between front wheel and the frame; think that's because of the relatively high stack of the On-One Smoothie headset I'm thinking of using. It's a MTB headset really, but I like the needle bearings to offset the instability of the short trail
