Marin frame sizing question

Hi Guys,

Despite looking back through the catalogues in the archive none of them really let on as to how Marin measured their frames. I have read that they come out a bit larger than the stated size i.e 17.5" is more like an 18.5" does this sound right?

I'm looking at the Marin Team in the classified section which is a 17.5".

Thanks
 
The extended seat tube adds about IRC 1.5" to the CTC measurement,so yes they are actually a bit bigger than you would expect from the Quoted size and most other bikes with the "same" frame size.Hope that makes sense lol.

I think you will find a 17.5" has about a 18.75 seat tube and a 23inch top tube.
19" has a 20.25 seat tube and a 23.5 top tube.
 
This is set correctly for me i.e. It's not a bu11shit picture with a jacked up seat :
