If you already know the dimensions you want for your new frame, please supply them here. Measure the frame size (seat tube length) from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube, as shown under "Current Bicycle Measurements." All other measurements are center to center. Use inches or centimeters, whichever is easier.

Photographic References Please supply photographs of yourself on your current bicycle in the three positions shown below. Your ankle extension should be the same as when you ride, and your elbows should be slightly bent and relaxed. For best results, use a light-colored wall as a backdrop, and avoid sharp shadows. Do not take the pictures against a glass window, or against a cluttered background. Try to fill the frame of the photo; it's ok to cut off the ends of the wheels, but try to make sure your feet and head are fully shown. Take the photos as a true profile, at waist height.

About Wheel Sizes
Our road frames our usually sized for 700C wheels. Frames smaller than 49cm will be built with 650B wheels unless you specify otherwise. The 650B size is available in both tubular and clincher tire styles, and is commonly called "26-inch road." The nominal bead seat diameter is 584mm. Most "26-inch" road forks are sized for 650B wheels.

If you would prefer a 26-inch mountain wheel size, check the appropriate box. These wheels have a nominal bead seat diameter of 559mm. Note that virtually all forks sized for 26-inch mountain wheels have cantilever brakes. In most cases, you will not be able to adapt caliper brakes to these forks. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
