Martin Manning (mmanning@fuse.net) Release notes for version 6.31 (July 2007): - Reference point for horizontal location of saddle changed from pedal axle to bottom bracket center - Method of estimating horizontal distance to sit bone location revised to use Femur Length and Inseam with adjustment factor (adjustment factor replaces fraction of femur length input on Frame Geometry Worksheet and Design Library Worksheet) Note: Because of the above changes, two values in Design Library Records from previous versions will need to be modified if loaded into this version: Column 11, set to 1.0; Column 16, subtract crank length from old value - Documentation updated for above changes, illustrations imbedded in text, and further description of frame geometry inputs controlling top tube position and process for evaluating fit of an existing frame added Release notes for version 6.20 (December 2006): - Conditional formatting added to Solver Matrix to highlight unsatisfied constraints - Head tube angle added to Solver Matrix independent variables, minimum and maximum head tube angles

Version 6.31 July 2007

Release notes for version 4.00 (October 2005): - All dimensions are now in millimeters. - Crank arm length now estimated as percent of inseam measurement. - Old "Frame Plot" is now renamed "Position Plot" - Old "Tube Lengths" worksheet is now renamed "Tube Description" worksheet, and includes inputs for parametric descriptions of rear dropout, crankset, and rear cassette. - New Frame Plot shows elevation view of Frame with 2-D representation of the tubes. The chain stay and seat stay positions and lengths are determined as required to attach to the specified rear dropout. - New "Drive Train Plot" shows a layout of the rear tire, crank arm end, chainrings, and rear cassette in the plane of the chain stay axes to check drive train component clearances. - Errors in the top tube "min length" calculation, present in version 3.11 and previous, have been fixed.

Note: Miter profiles are drawn with the following assumptions: Head tube, seat tube, and bottom bracket are circular in section; top tube, down tube, and chain stay are circular or eliptical in section as specified by their height and width inputs, excepting the bottom bracket end of the down tube which is circular as there is no width input. The dimensions shown on this plot are always accurate, since they depend only on the height of the tubes at the joints.

To store or retrieve design data from the library: - Select a design by clicking on its Design Record Identifier cell in column zero. - If new design data is to be stored, choose a blank row, type a name in the Design Record Identifier cell, and press enter. - Choose Tools -> Macro -> Macros from the top menu bar to show the available macros. - Chose the desired operation by selecting the name of the macro you wish to run, then click "Run.". - The macros store and retrieve data with reference to the cell that is selected when the macro is run. Be sure to select a cell in column zero before running any of the macros. Additional sortable identifying information can be added to each record by inserting new colums to the left of column zero or to the right of column 125 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Estimated Frame Dimensions Estimated Position Position Inputs Arm Femur Foot Estimated Virtual Horizontal Horizontal Saddle Location Reach Stem Crank arm Saddle Horizontal Desired Length Length Length Shoe Toe seat tube top tube top tube Height of sit from Position length (% Height distance Reach (mm) (mm) (mm) Arc (% of length (% plus stem length (% (insole of bones location of (reach of (BBc to from From foot of length (% of top shoe to adjustman sit bones angle, inseam) Saddle Bottom Saddle length) inseam) of right- tube plus saddle t factor (% of degrees) Top, mm) Bracket Reference angle stem top, % of (horizonta right Center to Point reach) length) inseam) l distance angle Saddle (From sit from BBc) reach) Reference bone Point location or (mm) other, mm) 680 495 285 0.35 0.65 0.75 0.85 1.04 1 0.98 -7 0.215 800 293 910

Notes Use any bike that you can adjust to get yourself into your desired riding position Weigh yourself in your riding gear Center the front axle over the scale with the rear wheel on a support equal to the height of the scale. Support bike gently from side only Center rear axle over the scale with the front wheel on a support equal to height of the scale. Support bike gently from side only Center the front axle over the scale with the rear wheel on a support equal to scale height. Hold both brakes to get on, then hold the rear brake only and lean an elbow gently against a door jamb to balance. Cranks vertical (cornering configuration) would seem to make most sense.
