Cheers, so do you measure from the end of the dropout to the other end of the chainstay? :)

centre of your bottom bracket to centre of the dropout

Center of BB to the center of the rear wheel spindle. Most modern frames dont have much travel on the dropout, but you still quite often get a "longest" and "shortest" size given (the shorter one is usually referered to as "slammed" cos its with the wheel "Slammed" all the way forward, which is better/stronger/neater)
-
mine is 13.5 slammed right up against the front of the dropout
a tad tricky getting the rear wheel out and doing the chain.
-
Mines 14.5...
-
My S&M is slammed right up and im running a fat tyre on the rear, there must only be 5mm gap between tyre and frame
-
14.5 is long these days.... Good on vert though :daumenhoch:
You'll find a lot of modern frames come in under 14"

Yeah I wanna get a new frame anyway, this one also has chainstay brake mounts, it's not a very old frame I just think they used old tech. I've been looking at the fit marv frame?
-
Chainstay brake mounts are no problem if designed right, you can run 25/9 no worries. As for choosing a frame, decide on your dimensions first then think about which company or rider you'd like to support, then try and put the two together.
