est.
Estimated: a number I worked out rather than read off the maker's table. Anything marked this way can move if the maker publishes the real one.
BB, or bottom bracket
The axle your cranks turn on, in the middle of the frame. Every number on this site is measured from it, because it is the one point that sits in the same place on every bike.
Headset cover
The little cap on top of the head tube, under your spacers. Most makers do not publish it, so I assume 15 mm and add 6 mm to the band, which on its own is enough to hold an answer at "probably" rather than "fits".
Stem clamp, and its centre
The collar on the steerer that your stem bolts to. I need the middle of it. Where a maker gives only the height, I assume halfway up and say so on the answer.
Steerer
The tube coming up out of the fork. The cover, the spacers and the stem all sit on it, and it is the thing a mechanic cuts to length.
Bar reach
How far forward the hoods sit from the middle of the bar. Two bars on the same stem can put your hands 20 mm apart, which is why I ask.
Setback
How far your saddle sits behind the bottom bracket.
Drop
How much lower your hands sit than your saddle. On a riser bar I count the bar's rise, so the drop is that much less than it is to the clamp.
Rails, and the rail centre
The two rods under your saddle, and the middle of the straight part of them. That midpoint is the point I use, because it is the one you can find with a tape.
Stack and reach
How high and how far forward the top of the head tube is, from the bottom bracket. They are the two numbers that decide whether a frame can be set up like yours.
The band
How far out I could be, in millimetres, and why. It is a straight sum of everything I had to assume rather than a clever average, so it errs wide on purpose.
wb, stand, trail
Wheelbase, standover and trail: how long the bike is, how high the top tube is where you straddle it, and how steady the steering feels. I show them against your bike, and I leave them out when the maker does not publish them.

The table runs on to the right: 6 more columns after Reach. Scroll it sideways to read them.
The 56 drawn to scale from the table, with no build on it. Stack and reach run from the bottom bracket to the top of the head tube; every size is solved from those two. One square is 100 mm. A dashed tube is a number the maker left out (est.).
The maker's cockpit
No stock cockpit I can name, so every size is solved on a generic stem and bar unless you choose one on the sheet.Generic stem and barAssumedNo bar is listed for this frame.

How I read the maker's table
Triathlon / time trial frame. MAKER SLIP, FLAGGED: the 61 standover prints 906 mm after 812 on the 58 (a jump of 94 mm where the other steps are 16 to 20); stored as printed. As printed, the 61 has head angle 72.4, fork offset 40.4 and BB drop 74 where the 51 to 58 print 72.5, 43 and 75. Cervelo prints no trail row for the P5 (null). Model year is not printed on the page (null). Cervelo's row labels on this triathlon page: Reach, Stack, Head Tube Angle, Front Center (front_centre), Bottom Bracket Drop, Head Tube Length, Standover Height, Wheel Size, Fork Offset, Wheelbase, Chainstay Length, "Effective Top Tube @75 Deg Seat Tube" and "Effective Top Tube @79 Deg Seat Tube". Cervelo does not publish a seat tube length (null). Cervelo does not state the stack datum (null).
