Many times when I see a bike for sale, the frame size is not listed. I ask the seller what the frame size is, and they don't know. And they don't know how to measure it. I usually explain how to measure the frame size, but sometimes they still don't understand since they don't know what a seat tube or a crank is. So I made this video to show how to measure a bicycle frame.

  • Sorry, I am not Joe. My name is Rob. Personally, I can't stand hearing my own voice, but it's the only one I have. Glad I could help.

  • No, it's not custom. It's a 1990 Trek 1000. It came in many sizes including 54, 56, 58cm, etc.

  • @shyflirt1 I have a trek 1000, how can i determine what year is it from.

  • @fu3ymip1 Search for my page titled "Find the model year of your Trek bike" at my BicycleBikes (dot) com site. I describe how I figured out the year of my Trek 1000.

  • for Ya'll who are "slow" --from the CENTER of the crank to the top of the seat FRAME where you insert the seat tube ...or where the color ends on your bike frame , or just take out the seat tube...and you cant miss, LMAO

    ------------------good how to man!!---------------------

  • @backpackcamera he said to the top of the seat TUBE you nitwit!!

  • how the man says, THAT'S IT!!!!

  • @asnac Where the frame ends you numpty!

  • Found a video that is much clearer - search for ymORrL8R8nM

  • But where on the tube do you measure it to - what does 'top' mean? You're very generous in making and uploading this but the key question is still unclear.

  • Thanks, Very useful with all these old steel frames i have!

  • Thank you so much for making this video - I'm sending a link to the eBay seller when I make the query about frame size.

  • Thanks for posting, but yeah, you're blocking the top of the shot so you can't see the other end of the measurement
