I did a quick measure and got this:

Known dimension: Seat tube (centre to centre) 20" (508mm)
Top tube (centre to centre) 23.5" (597mm)
Chainstay 17.5" (445mm) these stays are longer than my 16"?
Stem length 5.4" (135mm)

Nice work I often do similar when a seller doesn't put the seat tube length on an ad. Measure the diameter of the chainwheel (If it is a known one - or count the teeth) and multiply against the tube it's often close enough to tell whether it is a 16 or an 18 or larger

So almost 60cm for the top tube, that's a good lenght.
Although his photos said around 57 which is no good for me but that's probably a proper size for a 20" frame.
My 22" Trek 990 has 59cm and my Terrarunner at 57cm C-T (22.5") is 59.5.
It's not going to be used as an MTB, does anyone know what a 22" GT measures as far as top tube goes?

Maybe search in the Sales section to see if anyone has sold/bought a 22" GT and contact the new owner to measure one up?

They never did bigger than a 20" on their higher spec frames in 1990/91, but in 1992 the Richter & Bravado came in 22"

Bravado frames are lovely! Good luck on your hunt.

Looking forward to seeing what this retro-utility bike turns out like

AWESOME! Nice project!

So if this was a GT or two GT's you could end up with 5 or 6 triangles. Need a special frame decal for that!

A double triple triangle - a hexrangle!
