This is a good one for all you with more experience than me - particularly those of you that have built frames or sized people up in shops, etc...
when buying a vintage frame sight-unseen, how do you know if the frame will fit? Not - what would be the perfect fit - but let's say you run across a Richard Sachs from the seventies and the only thing you know is seatpost height - what do you do?
I am 5'11" or so - normal build and size - how do i know what are the fitting extremes? - what is to small, way too small and too big and way too big? Example - can a 6' guy fit on a 54" frame? Or a 60cm? (seatpost C-C)
I have a couple bikes that fit - so i'm more concerned about the random find online or maybe at a flea market, etc...
