Bikes: Not As Many As I'd Like

Now the size chart show a difference or only 9mm between the 52cm and the 50cm between the bottom bracket and the fork. Now looking at the picture posted by [MENTION=385036]Owlex[/MENTION] it seems like there is way more than 9mm between the tyre and the crankset, can someone please explain? I am assuming that the tyre and crankset size in the picture is the same as mentioned by [MENTION=164476]Scrodzilla[/MENTION]

I just went out to my garage and messed around with mine. 52cm frameset, 170mm SRAM Omnium crankset. I can make the very tip of the spd-sl pedal touch a fully inflated 700x25 Specialized Espoir tire. I cannot get the crankarm to rub the tire but it's very close.

Don't know what more I can tell you about it. Still love the frame :shrug:
