I found the table from the guide in the archives. ?You will need to redo the headings as the angles across the top are compacted--spread them out to match the columns. ?If you can't figure it out, shoot me an email and I'll walk you through it. ?Ken Freeman mentioned that this is best for horizontal toptubes and he is absolutely correct. ?You can get there with a sloping toptube, but it requires you to be sober. ? ?Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA

I have tried, without success, to measure the frame angles on my 1930s and 40's bikes; does anyone know whether a purpose-made tool is available to do this (preferably idiot-proof)?
