Inside leg varies greatly amongst similar heights but can be accommodated across a range of frame sizes.
Would I be wrong?
Yes exactly, there is one brand of road bikes, where the frame 'size' refers to top tube length rather than seat tube.
There's an interesting article from Cervelo here, where they show that as some frames get taller, they don't actually get longer.
I've seen this with the Marins, while seat tube goes up by 1.5", top tube only increases by 0.5", seems alternative is smaller frames as we get older.......
has anyone done a list of makes where top tubes are shorter vs others, I know Marin are on long side.
