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)

Silly Question

So I was looking at frame geometry for a friend on BD, and It has a listing for stand-over height, it lists it as a number like, "756" but no unit designation, what is it?

You can google just about any conversion. For example: type in "26 in to mm" and search. If you have a iPhone and the google app you can probably even just say it and save yourself from typing.

Ah so it is MM to inches then? I was able to figure out the conversion, (just divide the larger by the smaller, etc etc) but wasn't sure what unit of measurement it was. I guess I could have taken my ratio, discovered mathematically (25.4 to 1) and thrown it into google, but I didn't think of that until just now.
