Default What size is my frame?


I'm looking for a fast roadie as bike2 to maybe race with at 44.

So I measured my custom tourer, centre BB to top seat tube = 63cm, t
top top tube = 60cm,
and the top tube is 55cm.

What size modern frame am I looking for

ohoh! minefield ahead!!!

horizontal toptube or 'compact' on your tourer?
the measurement from BB should be to line going along centre of to
tube and seattube intersection, not to the top of the tube/collar

IMHO the toptube length and combo with stem length is just as importan
cos you can have leeway to adjust it with your seatpost.
Get fitted by someone you trust. the difference can be ver
enlightening..

I agree with the minefield. It would be a large frame for some an
xtra-large for others. You will just have to try them on, its like ne
shoes, if they don't fit, don't buy.

Try some of the on line self measuring sites to check your size a
well. http://www.wrenchscience.com/ for example
