    Almost all modern racing bikes use 700c wheels but either way the wheel size will be written on the tyre.

    To measure the frame size measure along the seat-tube from the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the intersection of the top tube with the seat-tube (this is known as the c-c measurement, the c-t measurement would be from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat-tube).
    Measure in cm. Inches are for mountain bikes.

    The c-c top tube measurement (measured from the centre of the intersection with the seat-tube along the top tube to the centre of the intersection with the head-tube) may also be useful.
