There was a fit system described in Hinault's book which gave a mean ratio of femur length:height based on some anatomical study. I think mine were 107% of average for my height, based on the statistics in that book. I still have a bit of tape on the top tube of my bike from 1986 showing where my saddle nose should be based on that fitting method. /csb
