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.
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 Most makers do not publish it, so I assume 15 mm and add 6 mm to the band, which on its own is enough to hold an answer at "probably" rather than "fits".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.
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.
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.

The M 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.

In the maker's words
Kept whole, as I read it off velobuild.com.Frameset (store prices from USD 399); the page names the frame "Integrated Hidden Cables" but publishes its bar, stem and headset in images only, which were not transcribed; no cockpit geometry recorded.

How I read the maker's table
Ueeshop storefront, images on ueeshop.ly200-cdn.com). TABLE LEGEND (lettered rows on the drawing above the table, header "SIZE IN(mm)"): A "BB CENTER TO TOP OF SEATTUBE" -> seat_tube_length; B "EFFECTUVE TIO TUBE HORIZONTA" (sic) -> top_tube_effective; C "BB OFFSET" printed with a minus sign on every size -> bb_drop as a positive number (the convention velobuild-vb-r-268-2024.json set: the minus is the maker's sign for a BB below the axle line); D chainstay; E seat angle; F head angle; G "FRONT CENTER" -> front_centre; H head tube length; I fork offset; J reach; K stack (drawn from the BB centre to the head tube top). No wheelbase or standover row. STACK DATUM: the drawing dimensions stack and reach to the head tube top. Size labels exactly as the table heads its columns. Trail is not published (null). MODEL YEAR: the store title names 2021. No Panda Podium, Geometry Geeks or 99 Spokes request was made.
