All this aside, I think it's awesome that you've managed to measure your
PBH to 2 significant figures.

I've got a 1976 Super Course Mk II frame/fork (emerald green) that is,
i think, too small for me to consider building up. Anyone out there
have a 21-1/2" frame they would
like to swap for a 19-1/2" frame? I keep thinking I should try
building it up, as the fellow from whom i bought it said the
measurements on my frame (19-1/2") are identical to the 1976 Super
Course Mk II 21-1/2" frame BUT for the seat tube length. His
girlfriend, whom he says is 5'8" tall, rides a 21-1/2" frame, and from
the photo i saw, she has the seat post is mostly hidden. I've been
reluctant to build up the 19-1/2" frame, but i guess i could just put
a seat post in there and see how high i would have to put the saddle.
I recently had a 1978 Raleigh Record mixte that was 23-1/2", and it
was HUGE for me. I ended up selling it to a male friend who is 6'
tall, and it's his favorite bike. That's what got me started looking
for a 21-1/2" Raleigh mixte frame. That's when the '76 Super Course
Mk II came my way. Trying to decide whether to try it our just let
this one go. The Super Course mixtes (Reynolds 531 main triangle) are
just so hard to find, i snagged it just in case.
Any thoughts?
(i'm 5' 8-1/2" and my PBH is 84.45)
probably crazy to even think about this frame, but i do know there can
be enough variables in frame sizing that there's a SLIM chance it
COULD work.
