Bike size poll

Well I usually ride large frames in the 19-20" range but now those measurement systems are becoming obsolete. Those standover heights really say nothing about the frame size. One manufacturers medium can be about the same as another companies extra large. I look for bikes bikes with around 24" to 24.5" top tubes. My Titus Switchblade for example uses the same standover for all sizes so its impossible to categorize it by any of those sizes. Technically it would classify as a small since the standover is based on the smallest size even though its really an X-large with a 24.6" top tube.
I've been riding a large the last two bikes that I had, but then I finally came to my senses and realized that a large is too big for me and I got a medium/17" frame. I was able to get away w/ a large on my Sugar though, because of the frame design.

Yep, what he said.
It depends on what brand you're riding and sometimes that changes too:
Old C-dale larges are now mediums.
Pre-Genesis GF frames are smaller than current Genesis frames.
