Small...ish. If jebensch's measurements are correct you need a longer torso, shorter legs for that frame. Some perspective might be coming into play too if he measured from the pic but it's no more than a 53cm I'd imagine. For a classic bike it looks to have a slightly compact geometry. Anyone else?

well the '89 Strada LX only came in 49, 52, 55, 58, 62 so this must be a 52? the TT however is not listed in the geomentry chart. the lowest bike listed is the Sport SX and I am guesing the specs are pretty close the 52 has a 23 TT and the 55 has a 55 TT
the Strada Lx was the bottom road bike that year with a price around $350. the frame is simply listed as Tange ChromeMoly and a HiTen fork
so has it been sitting outside? what is the deal with the front brake? what is the price?

I picked it up, it's a 52' 55' tt. Has chromoly with suntour components. It will clean up nicley, I thought is was rust but only dust. It is missing the bearing in the headtube. Not bad for $10.

No they are 700x 23 wheels. The headtube might look longer due to the front brake hanging lose. USA Zorro, I can bring it by and show you it's a 52.
I have it stripped right now, going to regrease, assemble and ride the crap out of it.

Moi? I have a treasure trove of older catalogs. as for that bike I could just look at it and tell you the year and likely component group. I must have sold dozens of them
