57-60 cm Road Frame Geometry Template Needed
Does anyone know of a good reference I can use for frame dimensions? I'm trying to design a custom road frame with the following characteristics and could really use a good geometry template:
Everything I've found online so far is either incomplete or more geared toward a rider trying to find a good-fitting frame. Thanks so much in advance.
- Road bike style
- Horizontal Top Tube
- 57-60 cm size

I'm trying to understand this post, yet I am failing. You're looking for a "template" for a frame that will be used for some undetermined type of riding (racing? touring? rando? runs to the store?) that is going to be a "custom" road frame that falls into a 3cm size range? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I would suggest starting in one of two ways: find a bike that DOES fit (or come close, where differences like a longer top tube can be extrapolated out), and take a series of very careful measurements; or, play around with BikeCAD for a little while.

using the free version of bike cad is going to be better than any template. If this frame doesn't have an eventual user in mind, just take the top tube/seat tube measurements from a stock frame and use those.
