Raleigh Pro frame sizes
I saw this on eBay listed as a 51cm. I thought the smallest size for a Professional was 52cm (20.5" like the International).

It would be helpful to see the other end of the measuring stick, i.e., the starting point.

That looks like a Mk IV fastback cluster (1972ish). Measuring mine, the size is 20.5" or 52 cm C-T, which matches the smallest in the 1972 catalog. Technically a scooch too tall for me, but after 42 years I've become used to it.

Yea , I always understood that they were 1/2 sizes . I am pretty sure that is center to top . Mine is 25.5 0r 64cm. It looks taller to me because the frame on my Mark V looks even huger than most of my others. It is very comfy though. Joe
