I like some clear packing tape for the down tube, much cleaner look.

It's easy enough to measure:

1) Inflate tires to whatever pressure you ride them at.
2) Put a dab of grease (white is easy to see) on rear tire.
3) Get on & roll for a couple revolutions.
4) Measure the distance between the marks left on the pavement.
5) Average the measurements, this is the circumference value.

700x25c Gators on Ritchey pro's here, 2111 mm, manual says 2105.
