*Frame size is measured from center of bottom bracket to bottom of binder. Check standover height to be sure of proper fit

Frame sizing note:

When comparing our frames with your current frame, use the standover height and top tube length for comparison. For the Tri frames, we've found that a longer top tube and shorter stem gives better weight distrobution. A 9 or 10cm stem would be ideal for Tri frames and a 10 to 12 cm stem is good for Pro frames.
