It seems that many of the frames one sees for sale now that date from the 1930's are on the small side - 21, 21.5 inch (c-t) being more common than 23 or 24 inch.
Did they ride their frames smaller then? Or were riders smaller!
The reason that I ask is that at 6 foot tall (with a long torso), 23 or 24 inch is more my size, but I have been tempted into buying and riding frames as small as 21.5 inch.... And I'm tempted again at the moment by a 22 inch frame!
So how 'wrong' would a 22 inch frame have been for a 6 foot rider in the 1930's?
