Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

Yeah, if the head tube looks like my bike, i know we're in the 58-60 range, and i kinda extrapolate from there.

Obviously we base these guesses on a bunch of assumptions that we may not recognize. So when I bought a 1940 Schwinn New World on ebay some years ago, i failed to consider that it had 26“ wheels. Sadly it proved to be a much smaller frame than I'd expected. Doh!
