Hey guys,

I want to check to make sure my frame is a Medium. When measureing the top tube do you measure just the length of the top tube OR do you measure from the center of the headtube to the center of the seat tube?

I ask because it's on an Intense M1 and the top tube has a curve to it (like alot of FS rigs do) so that'd throw things off I'd think. But if I took a tape measure and measured it would I be able to tell?

Let me know :)

Most manufactures list frame spec's on their websites. Most frame manufactures measure top tubes w/ a theoretical measurment that is not so good when trying to figure out sizing. Best to find the complete listed spec's - seat tube length, head tube length etc. and compare to yours.
