Usually, especially in newer bikes. This is called "proportional sizing", and as far as I know, bike frames have been made that way at least since the 80's. Top tube length is actually the most critical dimension in bike fit. You can effectively adjust it a bit with stem length and saddle position, but only within limits, as those tweaks also change the weight balance and effective seat tube angle. |
