Marin experts required,1988 Pine Mountain content

[Spanky22b]

So i've had this 88 Pine Mountain tucked away for a few years now and have now decided to bring it back to life again, but!
I'm in a bit of a dilemma because although it was a dream bike as a kid i want to actually ride it but if it's to big there's no point going to all the trouble and money building it so may aswell sell it and look for a 19 inch frame.
And that's why i need your help on how your meant to measure a Marin.
I feel like i'm clutching at straws hoping it's going to be a 19" frame and not a 20" because the four measurements i've got have the 20" winning 3 to 1 lol

So enough waffling and get to the nitty gritty, is it or isn't it?
Measurements are:
Centre of BB to top of Seatube 20.5"
Top of BB to Top of seatube 20"
Centre of BB to Centre of Seatube 20"
And finally the only one i could get to be 19 inches was Top of BB to Centre of Seatube 19"

So which one is it?

Marin measured centre bb to centre top tube / seat tube so looks like yours is a Marin 20"? Retro bikes are tiny though so can't you do a basic build and give it a try?

Yeah that seems like a good idea because if i sell it then i won't have one which isn't a good thought and the likely hood of another turning up is practically nil lol
It turned out to be a silly idea selling my other ones i had a few years ago to get some money for a build,i just thought i'll find another soon enough,not
