It's from the center of the head tube to the center of the seat tube. Sounds like that dude was trying to make his tube sound bigger than it really was :eek:

:devil:

You definately measure centre-centre, although I'm thinking if it's got a slack seattube angle, it may be an "actual" top tube length? depends what sort of bike it is...
 
As described:

"2001 Jamie Bestwick Pro BMX. All factory parts which include: heavy duty front and rear axle, 3 piece crank, four piece handle bars, 48 spoke GT rims, orgy brakes and launch pro seat."

I'll ask him to measure again, thanks for the advice.

Oh, yeah, if I'm looking at a POS, please tell me...
