I just looked at the geometry, I'm not so sure any more, 50cm is a bit to small, 53cm is a bit big, typical!

Read the info on their site, the frames tend to fit bigger, because they're measured C-C not C-T like most bikes. For instance, I usually ride around a 60cm, so I would buy the 57cm.

The 50 is probably the right choice, somewhere around a 52, where as the 53 is probably more like a 55.

Does anyone know where I can get a dark/forest green frame or full bike? Looking for a track frame around 57mm in this exact color. Thanks!

Haha, you should have a look at the above mentioned Kilo TT! Pretty sure the 'stripper' version comes in a dark green.

Thanks for the tip! However I just looked it up and the green is far too bright...as seen below.

It looks much deeper in person...my old roadie was in mercier green and looked quite a bit different than that

EDIT: see here:

I'd rather have a professionally painted frame from the factory that has a nicer finish. Using a spray can can never do as good as factory painting.

Get it painted by a pro after you buy the frame.

use clear coat afterwards, gives a nice glossy factory look

Thats pretty odd, good job you mentioned that to, i was thinking a 53cm would fit me like my gazelle road bike, thats 53.5cm st, 54cm tt
