With old stuff -as said by Non-Fixie + Bikeworkshop -Headstock is the give away, and centre BB to top top tube too -just to be sure
Bought an old FW Evans, late 40's/early 50's time capsule -asked the seller to measure -58cm. They'd measured short and the thing had 630/ 27x 11/4 wheels, still used widely -just a few cm's bigger than the standard 700c in common use. Stand over was 62cms as a result, even though the frame was rightish for a 5"8 bloke...was like riding a Penny Farthing.
