when I convert that to imperial, I get 11.4".
My '74 Int measures 10 1/4" at the BB (that's 260mm for those insisting on a rational system of measurement)
Of course, this is with 700 x 25 tires that actually measure closer to 23mm with the Mavic MA-2 rims.
I've got a Hetchins with a 11" BB with 700 x 25 tires (that actually measure 25mm). That seems really high to me. Can't imagine riding a BB that's significantly higher.
For context, my International has a 24 1/2" frame.
