I've been measured up for a bike. I have an in seam of 85cm (34in) with shoes off. I have been told that I should add another 2.0cm (~1in) to this for the shoes and multiplying by 0.67 gives a frame size of 58cm (23in).
I've tried the bike out overnight and this morning and it feels a bit large. I measured the seat tube c-c and sure enough it's 58cm. However the other way c-t it is about 60cm. Should this frame be 58 or 60? Should I be adding 2cm to my height for the shoes? Does this sound right? What is the truth?
Oh and the frame has a standard geometry (non compact).
