road bike sizing help needed
I put in my measurements in Competitive Cyclist, and this is what is said
Measurements
-------------------------------------------
Inseam: 32
Trunk: 30.5
Forearm: 13.5
Arm: 25.5
Thigh: 22
Lower Leg: 22.5
Sternal Notch: 59.5
Total Body Height: 72.5
The Competitive Fit (cm)
-------------------------------------------
Seat tube range c-c: 20.6 - 21.1
Seat tube range c-t: 21.2 - 21.7
Top tube length: 31.4 - 31.8
Stem Length: 3.2 - 3.8
BB-Saddle Position: 30.8 - 32.8
Saddle-Handlebar: 16.6 - 17.2
Saddle Setback: -11.4 - -11.0
The Eddy Fit (cm)
-------------------------------------------
Seat tube range c-c: 21.8 - 22.3
Seat tube range c-t: 22.4 - 22.9
Top tube length: 31.4 - 31.8
Stem Length: 2.1 - 2.7
BB-Saddle Position: 30.0 - 32.0
Saddle-Handlebar: 17.4 - 18.0
Saddle Setback: -10.2 - -9.8
The French Fit (cm)
-------------------------------------------
Seat tube range c-c: 23.5 - 24.0
Seat tube range c-t: 24.1 - 24.6
Top tube length: 32.6 - 33.0
Stem Length: 2.3 - 2.9
BB-Saddle Position: 28.3 - 30.3
Saddle-Handlebar: 19.1 - 19.7

I'm looking for my first road bike, and don't know what these numbers mean. What is a standard size frame I should look for? You know like 54cm, 58cm, etc....
I know that's a basic number but I'm just looking for a rough frame measurement.
Thanks,
Brandon

Those numbers look whack. I think you entered values in inches and got results in centimeters.
Frame size numbers are given by seat tube height, which is the first number that calculator spits out.
