Its 47cm from BB to centre of top tube, the 51cm is to top of of seat clamp. I use a 80mm negative 25 degree stem to get the geometry to work for me, as Marcus Storck geo is ‘unique’. Frame works for 160cm to 172cm. Frame feels very nimble due to short wheelbase and steep (almost track bike) head tube angle

Too many bikes and not riding enough, so putting these up - Storck alloy frameset, wheelset and groupset for sale. I built the Storck Visioner Comp G1 frameset in early summer with brand new components as pictured, and rode twice with perhaps 50 dry miles.
Looking to split:
Storck Visioner aluminium frameset with Stiletto 300 fork. 51CM framesize. Believe it's a 2016, made in Germany, great condition with a minor shallow cosmetic indent on top-tube. Solid, stiff frameset and lightweight. £70 spent in May this year at LBS to install new shimano BB86 bottom bracket, along with new outer cable housings for brake and gears. Will include these along with headset and seat clamp: £350.00 Can include the shown carbon saddle (weighs 95g), carbon seatpost (135g) and Cinelli Pista minus 25 degree stem for extra.
Prime Primavera 50 Carbon Rim Wheelset. 50 dry miles so pretty much new - zero wear or marks to rim, super lightweight at 1400g pair for 50mm deep rims. These were original rrp at £900. Includes the skewers, brake pads, spare spokes etc and tubeless valves, and original box if required. £450
Shimano 105 R7000 11 speed Groupset (excluding cassette) - 50 dry miles. 165mm chainset, medium cage rear derailler, FD, shifters, F+R rim brakes with unused original pads. £300
Arrange collection London (Willesden Green/Battersea/Victoria).

Brand New - Pair of Specialized All Condition Armadillo Elite 28c Tyres:
https://www.specialized.com/gb/en/all-condition-armadillo-elite/p/155920?color=230033-155920
One of the tyres was fitted to a rim only to test for clearance on my fork, but it was just too tight with 1mm gap, so I will have to stick to 25c.
RRP is £90 (£45 each)
£SOLD for the pair. Collection/meet in London
It's not the steep head-tube that makes the ETT longer - its the slack seat angle. The frame will actually fit both of you perfectly, and the Reach dimension is more important than the Effective Top tube - let me explain..
It is technically a 47cm frame (measured bb to centre of top tube) compared to other manufacturers frame sets. Those mainstream smaller frames tend to have a steep 75 or 76 degree seat angle bringing you more forward, but with a 520mm effective top tube. This smaller Storck geo is unusual in that that the seat angle is slacker at 73 degrees so hence the effective top tube measurement will be 20mm longer (but 20mm in the backward direction to the rear wheel, not additional towards the front), hence Storcks use inline seatposts to get the same bum over rear wheel position - The reach to the handlebars is still similar to other 47/49cm bikes.
I'm not tall (5ft 4), and the pictured set-up position is identical to my old custom made to measure Rourke, and similar to my 49cm Aethos and previous Tarmac. The wheelbase of this Storck is also very short compared to mainsteam bikes at 960mm (a good 15mm shorter than most 47/49cm frames, even with the 73degree seat angle and ETT), and along with the very steep head angle feels very fast and aggressive. It's probably only one of the few (non-custom) small frames, that is not geo compromised and handles like a larger sized bike.
