Okay, I understand now. But I'm pretty sure my bike's top tube i sparallel to the ground. I certainly can't see a slope either way. The only thing I can think of is that they measure to the top of the seat tube. I could've sworn that the specs said center to center. Does anybody know where I can find the geometry for this bike? They take them off of the Trek's website each year.

i'm a little over 6'4" and ride a Scott 61cm that fits well, I have a longer torso than legs proportionately to most people and the fit is nice. I don't think that i could fathom a 63cm being too small for someone shorter than me.

The sizes / specs / dimensions are listed in their catalogs. What year and model do you have, someone here is bound to have the catalog for it, and can provide you with the numbers. Your trek dealer should have that info as well, and be able to tell you if for some odd reason the frame is mislabeled, it could happen. Also, they can help you get the right fit if the frame is correct.

Sorry I forgot to mention that. 2006 Trek 1500. Maybe I overreacted. I am sure I can continue to work on making it fit. It's just frustrating.
