Is reach the distance from center of BB horizontal, to the center of the Head Tube horizontal? Or is the center of the head tube at the top?

Good question. We used to use 'reach' for center of post to
center of bars, horizontally.

The newer meaning is on a horizontal line from BB center to
center of head tube at the top. It's used with another
newish term, 'stack', see image:

care to ameliorate on that ?

more stack less reach equals greater turn in

more reach less stack equals more forward less MTB more CX...

frame top tube bottom tube subs for head tube angle .....

the Honda with minus unsorung weight with 4WD comes with CF front brakes standard on base model.

Next village to where I live is called Reach. Good cyclist-friendly
pub there too.

Well, they don't don't chuck me out when I arrive peeling off cycling
mitts and obviously a bit sweaty. First went there in the 1970s so
maybe I'm grandfather-claused now?

What is these new dimensions supposed to indicate?

Certainly the distance from the seat to the handle bars is relevant
and the distance form the seat to the pedals (i.e. bottom bracket) ,
but the distance from the bottom bracket to the head tube?

With compact frames and threadless headsets I see a lot more setups that
remind me of the old Midas commercials where the customer comes into the
shop and asks if they have a muffler to fit his vehicle and the service
writer says "fit? we'll MAKE it fit" and proceeds to weld up a kluge of
pipes and adapters.

Add a threadless headset riser. Add an adjustable stem (or just a stem
with a different reach), add an angled seat post, and voilà, a bike that
fits.
