What’s with Trek sizing? Do they still do virtual and actual? I bought a 18.5 and the frame says 17.5? Nothing about actual or virtual?

Is this the wrong size? Or do they still do actual and virtual and just put actual on frame?

My fuel is a 19.5 virtual and 18.5 actual …. sticker says 19.5.

As far as I know the sticker is the virtual size and the seat tubes are 1 – 1.5 inches shorter .

Trek have stopped this for 2018 but if you have bought an 18.5 and got a 17.5 then that’s the wrong size .

Nobody understands Trek sizing, not even Trek. They changed all the sizing on my Remedy after a year- they didn’t change the frame, they just decided to write different numbers on it.

Does it fit? Whatever number mine has on it, it’s supposed to be a large but I’m a medium and it fits me brilliantly so I don’t care
