Default Fisher frame size from serial number?

Thanks for your input. I considered going to my local Fisher dealer and
taking some measurements, not sure what the proper etiquette is though.

The seat tube does extend some distance above the top tube; maybe half
the top tube diameter + the seat tube extension would explain the 1.5"
difference.

I did look for any obvious relationship between the serial number and
the frame size and didn't notice any.

I emailed Fisher regarding the serial number and have yet to hear a
response. I'm not sure how responsive Fisher is, but hopefully I'll get
an answer either way.


You can go to a shop and measure merrily. They likely don't care..you can
simply say you're checking your measurements based on your old frame. No
big deal. From my days with Trek and most manufacturers, there was no
correlation between serial number and frame size. However, they will be
able to work back from the serial number to find the frame size for you I
suspect. Also, the shop you bought it from will likely have the size
printed on the invoice (your bill of sale). If the bill says "size large"
and buddy is unhappy, that's really not your fault. If he's so particular
about sizing, he should have insisted on you measuring the frame manually
(as I or most anyone who rides seriously would..) getting explicit C to C
measurements for top tube, seat tube and chainstay length. An unfortunate
lack of communication on his part.

Good luck,

Scott..
