So I've decided to buy a Kilo TT Pro from BD. It will be my first fixed-gear/single-speed bike and I'm having difficulty choosing a size. I'm about 5'11" / 190lbs and it seems like most riders my height are going with 55cm frames, which leads me to my first question.
In terms of the sizes posted on BD's website, when people say they fit a 55cm frame, are people going by the center-to-center or center-to-top measurement?
The second question I have has to do with standover height. Based on my inseam of 30", I should most likely be riding a 50cm than a 55cm, correct? Which size do you believe to be most accurate for my body? Thanks in advance guys. I really want this purchase to go as smoothly as possible.
