Short: What kinds of saddle to bar drop do people have on a 52 Vamoots CR?

Long: I'm trying to be around 71 cm BB to saddle, 52 cm tip of saddle to bars, and 4-6 cm bar to saddle drop. The 52 seems right but the head tube could be a bit short? So before I decide on a longer head tube, I figured I'd see what's going on on other people's bike.

So if you ride a 52 Vamoots CR, what's your bar drop? And with what stem/spacer configuration?

Thanks!

I have a 2.5cm drop on a 56 compact that gets used on long rides. It's comfortable, and I'm not tempted to change it.

In fact,I'll be using it on the Devil Mountain Double tomorrow. Wish me luck, I'm just hoping that there isn't a 50F temperature swing.

Oh right, let me clarify: I'm not asking what I should be riding---I've got a good feel for that ;-) I'm just curious what other people have so I can get a feel for what the range is for the frame. (Of course, that depends on saddle height, so maybe imagine your saddle at 71 cm...)

I've heard two people say the HT on the 52 CR will put me a little low, while another says it'll be just right.

And right now I'm riding about a 4.5 cm drop, but on a steel fork with quite a few spacers.

I have about 10.5 on mine which I ride on long rides and race with. My body shape dictates the big drop, long legs and arms with super short body. I don't have any spacers and I find it comfortable but most people can't even sit on the seat!
