I'm in the process of buying a new bike on insurance proceeds. The shop only wanted to know standover size. I thought that a bit odd. it's a track frame and it's about 2 -3 cm smaller than my road frame which I was properly measured for. the bike shop said track frames always come up smaller that road frames.
That also sounded odd. Why should that be the case?
Should I just go back and tell them to give me a frame that's bigger even if it means I'm touching the top tube if I standover it?
