Wondering if anybody could give me some good advice on bike fitting.
I'm looking (and really wanting) a beautiful vintage italian bike that is located a few states over. Not being able to check it out in person I have to rely on the seller's bad measurements, in fact all I have is center of crank the top of top tube 23".
I'm 5'10", 31" inseam. If my speculation is correct the 23" measurement would make the frame a 58cm?
I realize top tube length is probabaly a more impotant factor but this is all I have to go on, and a picture of the beautiful bike.
Should I just forget the dream and keep looking for a smaller frame?
