Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

You should be measuring from the center of the crankbolt up along the seattube to the top of the top tube.

You probably have a 48cm frame.

EDIT: Looks like those things have a slightly sloping top tube, so you probably need to measure to the top of a virtual flat top tube.

10060 LD-725 tr. Its about 29.5-30 inch standover but the top tube is longer than my madisons which is exactly what i needed way more comfortable. Im only 5'8 so if its a 51 or 53 whatever it is it fits me perfectly. I like my bikes a tad smaller

Looking at the geo. charts, it must be a 51. And those things are pretty long in the front/center dept. Should feel about like a classic 54cm up front.

Yep, if you like the fit, it's perfect.
