Figure on adding about 0.8 to 0.9cm (for frames in the 50-60cm range, c-c) to the toptube length for every degree that you slacken the seat tube. This will keep the relationship between the bb and stem quill about the same, and allowing you to use the same stem length if the seat position can also be made the same with whatever range of adjustment is available.
