The Century sizing is different from typical bike sizing. It has 50cm/53cm, whereas I usually ride 52cm in other manufacturers. How would you say their sizing compares to typical manufacturers?
With BD you have to check whether the nominal size corresponds to actual seat tube length or effective seat tube length. I think it is actual which is less usual. Or you could just focus on effective top tube.
