u r evil. typically, all measurements on a bicycle are center to center. fwiw, measuring the key dimensions after it is assembled will not always replicate the 2D ones that were in the frame blueprint. oh - and i wouldn't trust any imperial dimensions. the tea party thing, and all that... e-RICHIE®™© Richard M Sachs Chester, CT site: http://www.richardsachs.com pics: http://photos.yahoo.com/bobbesrs rants: http://richardsachs.blogspot.com/ zany: http://tinyurl.com/22xo7

I have been measuring from the ground to the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. It now occurs to me that perhaps I should be measuring to the center of the axle. Hopefully this will engender less heat than the chainstay discussion.
