Stand straight up on your bare feet (do not wear any shoes). Position the inside of your feet approximately 200 millimetres apart. Pull a tube, or the back of a book, firmly to your crutch until you can feel it against the bone. Measure the distance from your feet to the top side of the tube or book - both in front of you, as well as behind you (see drawing) The inside leg length in millimetres x .56 will equal your frame size.
