Id say the 2002ish T series had quite a sloping top tupe, so I am not surprised that the seat tube is so short.
Would be worthwhile checking if the 55 TT is the horizontal measurement or along the (sloping) tube.
My brother owns a 90s T and rides the 53 frame size being exactly 6ft

usually wouldn't go near a 52 as too small.
It’s not a 52 though, it’s a 55. Seat tube length has no bearing on fit whatsoever on its own. It only affects how much seatpost you’ll need exposed. I had a caad12 which was like 57cm ctc and I’ve got a custom Ti frame with almost identical geometry except it has something like a 49cm seat tube. Saddle and bars are exactly the same place, same stem length etc.

Hey, anyone with a T800, or 2002 era Cannondale, got my eye on a T800 as a light tourer, but the sizing seems a bit odd.
Fella selling it said it's a 52cm (CTC) seat tube, and 55cm top tube, but also claims it's good for 6ft+.
As someone 6ft, is this just some quirky Cannondale thing, as usually wouldn't go near a 52 as too small.
Thanks
