Treated myself to a Mercian (which I don't need). Built in my home town and I will own one in my size one day. 6 hour round drive to get this one and that was meeting the seller halfway. Sold as c24.6 inches and that's about right for the seat tube, but the top tube is 57cm, which is shorter than I need and was expecting. It was a custom build for the seller in 1993. He was 6ft, I'm 6ft4. Felt a bit small riding it round the car park but didn't have a tape. Annoying!! It is such a beautiful frame - pro lugless model. Change the stem and see?
