Dutch frame size shorthand - help please

Posted on
  • Have spotted a nice frame over in Holland & it looks about right for size. The ad quotes Framehoogte : 53 tot 57 cm - is that 53 cm top tube c to c

    • 57 cm seat tube c to c
      or maybe something else? It seems all the frames ads use a similar notation for size.
      If youve had any experience of buying off the Marktplaats site Id be interested in any help with that as well!
      Thanks, Julian
  • The "53 tot 57cm" Is like a subsection on Marktplaats. It means that all frames in sizes varying from a 53 to a 57 (seat tube) are listed in this section.
    Contact the seller via "Email deze adverteerder" and ask for a correct measurement, just to be sure. Ask them to measure c-c, otherwise you'll get something totally off. We Dutchies measure in a strange way ;)

  • That`s brilliant! Many thanks for explaining, might have been barking up the wrong tree for ages!
    Best wishes Julian
