I haven't seen DiNucci's website! I'd seen the new limited edition Allez, which is is brainchild, yes? I'd be curious to see what he is up to.

Based on other 56cm bikes I have, I'd like to call this one a 55, but not sure, as I haven't measured it. When you ask, would that be c-t-c, or c-t-t, usually? In my mind I'm thinking c-t-c, but thought I'd ask.

More and more these days I do a quick glance at the head tube length to get a quick idea of frame sizing, which has proven itself fairly reliable, as long as we are talking about horizontal top tubes, and of course paying no mind to TT length.
Bottom bracket c/l to top-tube c/l is how I believe they are measured. The limited edition Allen was indeed Marc's brainchild. He is quite a character, an extremely talented craftsman, and still building beautiful bikes in Oregon.
