Im selling this bike and the buyer wants to know the frame size, is the a way to tell or measure to give him that. Thanks sulley
 
The way I measure a frame is from the top of the seat tube (not the seatpost) to the middle of the crank.
 
Frame size on most bikes is the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. Ron
 
On a bike with a horizontal top tube, if measured in inches, measure from center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube, running the tape along the seat tube. This is c to t. High end road bikes measured in centimeters are measure from the center of the bottom bracket along the seat tube to the center of the top tube, or c to c. Bikes with sloping top tubes are a whole different matter, which is why many are described as small, medium etc.
Mountain bikes are generally measured in inches. I have worked in a number of bike shops & sold various brands of bikes & this is the bike industry's standard method.
