Theoretical question: A frame builder makes frames
in even sizes; you are interested in a 60cm or a 62cm.

Are the frames measured center-to-center or center-to-top? And how tall are
you? If it's a center-to-top measurement, and you're 6'2, chances are likely
that you'll feel more comfortable on the taller bike. But this is a
difficult (OK, impossible) thing to figure out without having more
information (your dimensions & the bike's dimensions). All I can go by are
generalities based on overall height and frame size, based upon our
customers.

After studying the respective geometries and comparing
them with what you have ridden in the past, you decide
a 61cm would be best. However, builder doesn't offer a
61 and you can't afford a custom build (don't even want
to discuss it). Would you go a size up or a size down?

(And, to the pundits who would say: "Ride them both" you
have to say" "Impossible to do in this town".)

So, who would go with 62cm & who with 60? & why?

Thanks. Ken
