Actual top tube length is a useless measurement so why bother to illustrate or describe. The reason it's useless is because it will vary considerably between different bikes of same size with different slopes / frame designs. The most important measurement in sizing a bike is the Effective Top Tube. The second most important is standover height. All other dimensions are moot. It's all you need to know to figure if a frame will fit you and you don't bother to even mention it.
