Have you narrowed it down to one frame? I compare the measurements of my current frames to the production frame. In my case, I look for the top tube length since my long legs mean standover is rarely a problem. If you have a long torso you need to be sure the standover isn't too high. Different companies have longer TTs than others. Try the fit sheets also.Originally Posted by caligurl

Glad to help out. I'm trying to talk Kim into trying this route with one of those Kelly sale frames and we'd help her assemble. I LOVE to spend other peoples money!
The only thing we don't do is install the headset because we haven't coughed up the bucks for the headset press. I love riding a bike that I "built" myself. I'm even thinking of taking a frame building class . . . in my spare time.
