Hi can someone help me please. Currently selling (well trying) Chris's bike however we don't know the frame size and someone has asked.
How do you measure it? Please talk in dunce terms as i know NOTHING about bikes.
You can see the pic of it here if it helps you describe it.

    I've been helping my Dad look for a bike recently, and I THINK it's the measurement from the bottom of the wheel to the handlebars. But that is just a hazarded guess from my dad's useless ramblings.

    ETA: I can imagine being told off about that now heh, it really is a guess!! Or is it maybe from one end of the bike to the other? (though I don't know why it would be) :)

    Frame size is measured from the center of the bottom Bracket (where the pedals go through the frame) to the top of the seat tube (where the seat post leaves the tube)

    Well the bidders have told me its from the middle of the bit where the pedals are to the top of the frame where the seat goes in.
    Which would make it about right at 18".

    :yes:

    18" sounds about right.

    It's a pity Mr Kaff's not here, frame size is one of his pet rant topics - mainly that people tend to ride a frame size way too big for them. Not that it's at all relevant in this case though!
