Dawes sst real sizing
Can anyone tell me how the Dawes SST is measured for the seat tube? Is it c-c or c-t? Im looking at the 58 or the 61. If its c-c im thinking the 58 but that top tube seems a little short. If its c-t then I thim I'm a 61 and the top tube will be good enough.
Does anyone have those sz and can tell me how they measure up? c-c? c-t?

center2top subtract 3cm to the frame size to get the center2center. So 61 is 58. better yet just look at the standover height. when you check a bike right under the picture is a link tittled "geometry chart". Check that

the geometry quote is too vague. My concern is buying too small a frame.
Thanks

I ordered a 56 based on my standover height. The bike suits me well, although I could see getting the next size up. Crazy how just a few cm makes such a big difference.
