Hello!
Can anyone tell me if there are any guidelines for fitting bikes like the Raleigh three speeds of the 50's? The Sports, or those Hercules and Robinhood type bikes?

I've been over in the C&V forum for a while, and FINALLY got serious enough about bike fit to take measurements and do some fine tuning on my fit.

I discovered I'm a "shortback" and on road bikes I fit a frame size larger than my 5'10" hight would suggest. 60ish cm seat tube and 56ish cm top tube are where I've landed. So I tend to go for larger bikes and fit a shorter reach stem.

Should a British 3sp size out the same way?

Cheers
