[QUOTE=CliffordK;22153326]If it looks "exactly" like the photo (other than color?), then it is probably fine.

This article discusses a lot of details about measuring.

But, the two primary measurements for size are the length of the seat tube from the center of the crank/bottom bracket to either the top of the top tube, or top of the seatpost extension mast. MIDDLE TO TOP



And also measure the top tube from the middle of the seat tube to the middle of the head tube. (as noted in the article, some people follow an imaginary line for a horizontal top tube, finishing in the seat post). MIDDLE TO MIDDLE



In many cases those two numbers will be similar. At least if one had a horizontal top tube. Having a sloping top tube throws everything out of whack (which is why the length of the top tube can be important).

Ultimately, if you can stand over the frame, with the tip toes hitting the ground, you can fit on the seat, and reach the bars, you'll probably be OK... but better, at least stand over the frame mostly flat-footed.[/QUOTE
It is the exactly the same bike same color too they just changed the handle bars to standard bike bars rather than road bars
