Hi Mark,
Have measured the height of B/B? I think it could change 20-30mm (3/4" to 1-3/8") depending on frame goemetry. Also, 27-1/4" fresh tires vs. worn 700C makes higher?
Or, at last. mesureing C-C, how you see round tube, exact 90' alignment to scale? We have to give 4-5mm + or -, I think. More likely mismeasuremet or a chea p tape?
I used to like lower B/B for stablity, but if you turn fast, my pedal hit ground, so I have to make it habbit to stop pedaling when making sharp turn.
