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.

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?
