Bad but not quite old enough for vintage
The small amount of money I can get this for locally has me scrambling for an idea of how it would fit. As far as I can tell the biggest size a ZR 3000 was made in was a 60cm which should theoretically fit me given its old school geometry. He measures 25" for the ST which I'm guessing is including the extension above the TT. If anyone could offer up some knowledge about how GT's sizing was done and whether a 6' male with a 34.5" standover would retain a deep voice using this as a daily rider. It's offered as a frame only and I don't have a set of 700c wheels to take over and size it up myself. The picture is not of the actual bike and is a stock photo of the exact frame.

Maybe the strange seat stays are confusing my view, but that does not look like a 60cm frame.

The picture is not of the actual bike and may be a different size. Just wondering if like orbea or others they have a fitting scheme that is irregular.

This thread is baffling. You're asking us if you'll fit on a bike by showing us a picture of the bike that's not the same bike, but the same frame, and not the same size, but a bigger size.
My answer: yes, go for it. It will fit perfectly.

POW ZAP KABOOM
One tries to keep the humor and yet bring a somewhat simple question about if a certain manufacturers frames fit big or small down to the level of stupidity rampant in the forum. I should point out that by local I mean a 700 mile round trip by bike to somehow haul back a frame. Am I hitting a properly sensationalist tone here?
