Bare Knuckle standover

I have been searching for weeks trying to find what the standover for 50 and 52 is. I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you know someone who has one or where I can find the standover I would greatly appreciate thanks.

Sorry, win some, lose some. Literaly. They might be up for grabs here in a couple days again. I was going with a full vintage Miche groupo on my girlfriends bike. But things change.

The wheels for my 52 should be here tomorrow. If they are, I'll throw them on and let you know what the standover is. I expect it to be around 31.5"

Hey, I'm curious if you ever found out what your standover was on this? I'm kind of stuck between a 50 and 52 as well. Thanks.

ever get an answer?

Hi, I'm looking for the same answer as I hope to buy one of these eventually in that size range. I'm comparing to my cannondale caad5 52, which seems smaller from what i can tell from the bare knuckle 52, but maybe not as small as a 50. I think the standover will determine which i go for . . .

I dont remember the standover height of the 52cm, but i do remember it was exactly the same as my 53cm pista. I had them both measured at my LBS and since they were exactly the same, i went with the 54cm. it fit me better.

thanks everyone, that confirms what I thought after comparing geometries on my cannondale caad5 52cm and the bare knuckle: i should go with the 50cm.

now, if anyone has a lead on where i could get a good deal on the frame . . . lowest i've found so far is $550, but i'd have to add tax and pick it up 2 hrs away. otherwise, i'm looking at $600+. i'm in the dc area. any suggestions?
