I agree it looks more similar to a 16" but I just can't see how it's a 16" unless khani is some of incompetent at measuring...which I doubt...it must be an 18". You are measuring middle of BB to top of seattube, right? My 16" Inbred frame is under 16" from middle of BB to top of seattube.

had a stack of spacers on mine but since I've had the forks extended to 120 it works without looking so odd and it's changed the handling brilliantly. It's a 16 , showing a bit of post but fits me fine.

Lots of people ride inbreds with long posts. I know I use pretty much the maximum on my 350mm post and have thought about getting a 400mm.

To solve the uglyness at the front I would suggest a stem with more rise and some higher rise bars. Also take the spacers off the top.

If you decide to get another look at the geometry. THe difference between the top tube lengths on the next size up is ~10mm easily sorted with a shorter stem. You then get 15mm mor eheadtube and 2" more seat tube. Personally I think you need a 20"

nuke-yes center to top but they are old tapes and maybe streched a bit and going by what you say that your 16 is short center to top it may be a combination of the two and it is a 16inch
zoolander- 100mm on mine on one say 80-100 max on older one's

unless you've been playing tug-of-war with the tape measure ... for the first 16 inches of it ... your tape measure won't be lying to you. Sounds like you took the seller on his description on flea-bay and got stung.
The good news is there is good demand for 16 in on-ones 🙂

Zoolander - which Reba's have you extended to 120mm? Not ones of Merlin are they?
