I know what range of frames fits me, 58 to 61, with the ideal about 59. The bikes that fit are in that range so if I know if the ST is measured is either ctt or ctc, I can judge if it will be in my range or not. If it is on the border line of the range and does not ID ctc or ctt, it is not in the running.
If Napoleon said a 57 is extra large, I would say it is a medium. To many adds stating s, m, lg, etc. that doesn't tell me anything.
