Thanks, kdelong, for all of your advice. You've been a big help. I am about 6'3" with a 34" inseam. Obviously, I've never had a bike custom-fitted for me, but according to this link (http://www.cyclemetrics.com/Pages/Docs/6-BikeFitting/LemondSystem/fit_formulas.htm) I figure I need a 58 or 59 cm frame. I've decided to forego the Atala frame, but I'm looking at an SR frame that was made by Tange, and is chrome molybdenum steel. First, can you comment on the frame. I will post some pics. I would also like to know what measurements I need to ask for in order to find out if my current components will fit this frame. I will post the description and pics. They are asking $200. Also, the seller says that the frame size is 56 cm, but that's apparently from the crank center to top tube center, not to the seat post top. Isn't the measurement of a frame from the crank center to the top of the seat post? And if so, wouldn't that make this frame around 58 or 59 cm? Thanks again.
