Its telling me that for a mountain bike frame. For a performance bike its suggesting slightly less than 22"-which is in the ballpark. Depends how much seatpost you want exposed. That and with 165 cranks. BTW, my mountain bike which I bought 10 years ago and truly love, is an 18" frame. True enough the seatpost is quite long. But I have always felt comfortable on this bike on the road or off. Has 180 cranks. Anyhow, it works for me. All this means is its up to the individual rider, and there is more tahn one way to skin a cat! Its another perspective, and only the rider can determine whether it is right or wrong-but its a hell of alot cheaper than 2or300 bucks.
