  1. I have a basic question regarding size.

    I am looking into getting a bianchi road bike. They have a sizing
    diagram that shows what all the measurements relate to. One measurement
    is the Size in cm. These values range from 44 to 63. They do not show
    what this size relates to. They also give values for the Standover
    height. This measure is shown to be the length from the ground to the
    top bar in a sizing diagram. These measurements go from 27 to 34 mm. So
    maybe the Standover is the distance from the top bar to the riders
    "comfort point". So, what what does the Size refer to?

    The link to the Size diagram can be found at the bottom this url

    Their website is wrong. The numbers they give for "standover height"
    (27 to 34) are in inches, not mm.

    The "44 to 63 cm" numbers are the "frame sizes" which I interpret to
    mean "what the seat tube length would be if the top tube were level."
    Very confusing.
