great post , it explained a lot to me since im total noob (around a week in the topic) , one thing i couldnt find is how to measure the frame to work out its size (ive found some guides on youtube but i think it would be easy to put it here too)

Measure from the center of the bb shell to the top of the seat tube.

yup , cheers ive found the instructions on youtube , and just found out that my frame - cannondale chase (i think 1) is only about 15" which sounds tiny for my nearly 6'3" but it feels suprisingly comfy and natural Smile

A lot of people look at the seat tube size being the most important,but in actuality it's the top tube length that makes the most difference,i'm 6,3 too and like around a 23/23.5 inch top tube,but on dj bikes like the chase the shorter top tube feels ok too.
