Does the manufacturer give rider height guide ?
If I was looking at several frames and not familiar with them all, the first thing I'd want to know is does it fit me ?

'never raced or rallied'

Saw that on a 'hearse for sale' ad once. Always struck me as pertinent information.

Here's a quiz Rob, the real answers are in here, some are decoys!

Your height and weight.
Frame age and condition.
Your wife's bra size.
Frame type and size.
How many hamsters you have owned.
Frame weight.

As much information as you can manage I reckon...

People don't generally buy based on vague descriptions, and the more inf you put the fewer "Simple" questions you have to answer...

All you need to say is "Perfect fit, Suits your style of riding"
