Weight Weenies

I've been away from cycling for some years. I used to ride a 56cm frame, measured centre of bottom bracket to centre of seat pin bolt. I have a 32 inch inside leg. I'm moving abroad soon and have seen a second hand Scott CR1 which I'm keen to check out. Before I drive to see this used bike can anyone tell me if bike frames are still measured in the same way as I described (centre to centre). I'm told the Scott that I'm looking at is a size Large which is apparently a 56cm.
Many thanks in advance

Hope it helps

Thanks Squashednuts, but unfortunately that chart is too low res' to read. I tried saving the image etc but it's still too low resolution. I'll try to find another copy online.

Google is your friend! just type 'Scott CR1 geometry' and you get plenty of hi-res geo tables!

Thanks I did and I got the full res' tables.

Inside leg only matters as a point of convenience when mounting/dismounting. What matters is whether the reach and stack are to your liking. I had a 2007 CR1. It had a tall endurance geometry, so a 56cm could fit the average 5’10-5’11” rider with an inside leg of 32” in an fairly upright position.

it depends what sort of age the CR1 is.
If its like this (2012ish):

then the geo chart/ size recommendation is miles out. I'm 174cm and it puts me firmly in the med/54cm camp, but due to the stupid geometry, i needed the reach of the med, but the stack of the small.

I sold it on to someone who is 6ft, and he fit it a lot better than i did.

It's a pity as the ride quality was great.
