Re:
Hi 1978. Thanks for the geo chart. I found the same thing in German but this is way more useful as I can read the rest of the info as well
I came to the conclusion it was classified as large to XL by Seat tube, but medium by top tube so decided to take a punt as the dimensions were within the boundaries of the four bikes I measured before committing (RC200F6 18”, Dekerf, Bonty Ti 17” and M Yo).
It’s here now and a bit grubby but it cleaned up well and will look way better with some new decals, paint touch up and a bit of polish
And the best bit is it fits; the dimension I always find most important is saddle nose to bar centre and this is within 10mmof my other bikes so easily tweakable with saddle and stem adjustments
I think I’m going to build it with M730/2/4 XT “rider” spec. I.e smart but not too flash.

So out of curiosity I’ve just measured it. I only have metric tape measure so have converted to inches. It’s interesting....
ST c-c: 455 > 17.9” (as listing)
TT c-c: 570 > 22.4” (shorter than listing but easy to be a few mm out here depending on how horizontally you are measuring)
So it’s a non-existent size between large and XL by Seat tube and between small and medium by top tube. I’m a very M kinda guy but it seems to fit and although I’ve not ridden it yet it stacks up with the aforementioned bikes
The BB is stamped 18 67 0881 (could be 0861)
This seems to imply 18”
Can anyone shed any light on this mystery?
BTW is the stunningly ugly seat clamp anything rare before I bin it?

Definition didn’t bin it. I’m pretty sure I included it with the frame when I sold it earlier this year (fully restored paint with new decals - it looked pretty sweet).
I’m having a clearout so will likely be selling my Race Lite soon complete with Bonty Composite fork, stem, ti seatpost…
