just checking which size I need to order to give me a 57cm top tube.

Do I order going off c-c, so a 54? Or c-t, so 58?

    It's the size "54" you want for a 57cm TT

    Still cant get my head round a 54cm frame fitting me at 6'2"!!

    But the geometry seems very similar to the wilier so it _should_ fit. :?

    I'm 6'1" with longish legs and the 56 fits perfectly. Thats having gone down a size from my normal 58 on account of the long top tube. Why not give Ribble a ring - they were very helpful when I was dithering on size.

    yeah might do.

    the wilier has a 54 c-c seat tube and 57 c-c top so its the same as the ribble.

    That's because it's a 58cm frame really, don't most frame builders use c-t but Ribble use c-c?

    I got a 50cm, thinking I was getting a really small frame, but I wasn't I was getting a 54cm really.

  • I originally bought a 52cm going by Ribbles recommendations. Sold it and got a 50cm as 52cm was too big. I ride a 53cm compact normally.

    I think Ribbles sizing is plain weird.

    yeah true.

    the wilier c-c is actually 53!!
