I think their measurements are off. That looks to be a 51cm frame. Its for sure not a 55cm and I used to own a 53 and that looks a touch smaller.

Johnny, the Bleriot came in 53 & 55cm. They are not sized like current Rivendells. A 55cm would be like todays 51.5 or 52cm bike.  THE 54 Saluki would be like a 51cm Hillborne by todays sizing.

Just read the rest of your comment Johnny. I cannot see the picture as I am not on Social Media. If you owned a 53 then you would have a good feel for the size. I don’t remember fully but I think 51cm was the smallest the Bleriot came in but they may have offered a 49. Is there a pump peg in the photo? I think the 53 would have had one, not sure about the 51.

Here is the photo from the listing. I know the 55 had a pump peg. Its been awhile since I owned my Bleriot so I can't remember about the 53. The 49 had a top tube the sloped more so its not that. Its a 51 or 53 but I lean toward 51.

Looks like a 51 to me, you called it right.
