Frame size?

I know there are various ways to measure your bike, but is their a standard way that Barracuda bikes where measured? My bike is a 16 inch according to my paperwork, but when you use the standard sizing system (middle of crank to top of seat post), it shows as an 18 incher.
Thanks

So would this drawing be accurate for determining Cuda sizing?

Yes it is

Thanks...with the info you provided, I put the sketch together in hopes it would help others. I had a friend who bought a used Cuda a few years ago off Ebay and it ended up being too small...the seller did not measure the way Cudas are measured, instead he measured to the top of the seat post, so it was measured larger than it actually was.... others are measured that way as is seen here: http://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/ ... ntain-bike
