I just saw a post about sizing and got thinking "is my frame the correct size?" I'm too poor to get a proper fitting so did the calculator at the top of thread. The numbers from the calculator say I should be riding a much smaller roadie and track bike. Here are the results from the test;
Measurements
Inseam: 80
Trunk: 70
Forearm: 34
Arm: 69
Thigh: 61
Lower Leg: 58
Sternal Notch: 149
Total Body Height: 181
I'm 181cm (just over 5"11) tall with 80cm (31.5 inches) inseam. My roadie is a 56cm frame and my track bike is 54cm. Both bikes leave around 1cm's crotch to tube distance (shoes on!). The only pains I ever have is in the lower back and this goes if I shift my bag about; and my left knee gets a dull ache, but this is from a motorbike crash I had five years ago.

Do my frames sizes sound right or wrong?
