Are sizes different these days?
I noticed that on old bikes (from the 70's and 80's) I tend to fit on a 58-60cm frame. I had a 54cm Peugeot. Loved it. Too small. I got myself a 58cm Trek 1500 and it was too big. Now I'm riding a 56cm Tricross and it fits nice and I like it. Either I shrunk 2cm in the last couple of years or bikes are getting sized different. What gives?
