Hi, good that you asked. There was indeed a mistake. The top tube is of course 23“.

Thanks

Thank you for your congratulations.
I am sorry, the fork was sold some weeks ago...

I have been registered here for several years, but I am mainly active in the German Classic Bikes forum. But in the future I will be here more often and then I will also post the one or other fine part here.

I'm so confused with the Bontrager sizing. I thought the large had an actual centre to centre of 22" and medium was 21.5" c-c? I generally go for frames with 22" actual top tubes.

Yes, Bontrager doesn't make it easy.
I have now used the data from the '94 catalogue, as I don't have my measurement records to hand at the moment.
But I could swear that I also measured 22", centre to centre. I will check this again as soon as I have the frame in my hand.

Thanks. If 22" then I'd go for it.
