Sep 13, 2020 at 11:24 comment added Andrew One very important bit of information you should add is exactly how the "size" measurement is done on the bike you are considering. Commonly, size refers to the distance measured along the line of the seat tube from the bottom bracket to a point in space where the top tube would meet the line if the top tube were horizontal. But some bikes will measure to the point where the actual sloping top tube meets the seat tube, so the "size" is much smaller for a given bike. Thus 49 and 50 may be sizes comparable to a typical 54 or so.
