Klein frame sizes

for no particular reason

if a chap of 6ft 3 with an inside leg of 32 inches wanted an older klein say like an attitude..what frame size should I be looking for?

I only ask as I see some say 20 but actually 18 etc and I get confused easily as I get older :lol:
 
I can't help specifically but do think some sort of database of seat tube and top tube lengths, with makes and models would be helpful.

Maybe it should be a requirement in for sale and build threads so a search of the forum brings up the frame dimensions you need.
 
XL i think. pretty sure klein measured the size in a vertical line from the bottom bracket to the centre of where it meets the top tube as opposed to straight up the seat tube. I bought an Attitude once after being told it was an 18" (am 6'2") and it was more like a 16.5. My fault right enough not the sellers, should have checked first.
 
My 93 Klein was a 19'' i'm 5-9'' with 31 leg. This was the correct frame for me according to the catalogue. So i'd say look for a 20''
 
I'm 6' with a 34" inseam and currently ride a 61cm Quantum pro and an XL (22") Adroit. I feel this Adroit is just on the verge of being too small, and the previous 21" Adroits I've owned were definitely too small. My first Klein was a 20" Rascal, and I'm still irritated that the shop ordered that size for me without measuring me up.

I wouldn't go with a 20" without trying it out first... unless of course you like a LOT of seatpost hanging out and a LARGE drop from seat to bar.
