According to a special issue of a magazine " Lo Sport" , "Il Romanzo di Coppi", Nov. 1953 , the information about Coppi's bike then is below. seat tube : 61 cm top tube : 58.5 cm down tube : 63.5 cm head tube : 17. 5 cm chain stay : 44 cm

stem :10cm
   cranks : 170mm 50/46 teeth
   freewheel : 14-22
   weight of the bike : 9.5 kg I don't know how they measured the tube length. I think seat tube is c to t , so 59 c to c.
