From experience that is a difficult model to find. I was unsuccessful in my previous search. I wish you luck.

I haven’t had the opportunity to ride one of these cyclocross frames. So I’ve wondered how sizing compares to a road bike frame. Is it a direct comparison?
I have read the sizing charts and I’m unable to determine if it is. I’m comfortable on a 60 cm road bike but looking at the numbers a 58 cm cyclocross frame might be fine vs a 58 cm road bike frame which feels too small.
Sorry for the hijack.

This one looks like it could potentially be a 58 https://ebay.io/m/yOGXd2
Thanks, I looked at the closely, but suspect it is a 56 as the top tube is 22 inches, corresponding 56 or so cms. A bit short. EDIT. Or... it seems that the tape measurement is not c-c... will investigate.

No worries. 58 in cx is longer or at least the 2000 model that I used to have. It had a 59 cm top tube, meaning that I had to use a shorter stem compared to a road 58. Don't have a clue on the other sizes, though.
This is a bargain for someone https://www.ebay.de/itm/158040727444
