Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I really need the actual top tube length (center to center)
the effective top tube length center to center
the standover height midway.

for the SIZE 52

there's a sketchy partial geo table on the PBK site, but I think it's innaccurate.

Thanks for your help!

I'm super interested in this frame, let us all know what you think if you end up getting your measurements and get one.

Based on Coasting's thread and pictures, the only thing I'm doubting is the size. Unless somebody helps out here, ordering one is strictly a gamble, fit-wise.

I'm almost at the point of ordering, building, and then unbuilding and Craigslisting if doesn't fit. Almost. Big hassle.

If I lived in a larger market area I would do that, but here my market is just one island, unless I ship, big h a s s l e .

Yes--replied with more sketchy info. This frame geometry seems to be a little bit out of the ordinary, especially judging from that bikeradar review (harsh ride--for racing, not sport riding, etc.). PBK does not have the geometry info; and apparently is not willing to send an email and get it from the manufacturer. And of course they won't tell me who the manufacturer is, so I can't get it.

The correct thing for me to do is tell PBK to either provide the complete geometry so that I can make an informed decision or I'm buying somewhere else. But it's SOOOO good looking and SOOOOO reasonable in cost.
