You know it's a bad headwind when you have to pedal to go downhill.

Nickray- what do I measure?

Generally (because some manufacturers measure differently) a frame is measured in inches (unless it is a road bike, then its in cm) from the center of the bottom bracket, along the seat tube, to the center of the top tube where it intersects the seat tube. This measurement is denoted "Center-to-Center", because there are different methods of measuring this. Sometimes you measure to the top of the seat tube, where the seat post emerges (denoted "Center-to-Top". Because there are different ways of doing this you must specify which way you measured it. I bought a really nice Gray Fisher MTB frame a while ago and this incompetent jackass that didn't measure it right. fucker. So don't be that ass, make sure to clarify. Its also nice to provide the length of the top tube because in cruisers that length almost matters more than the "center-to-center" frame size. Top tube length is measured from the centerline of the seat tube to the centerline of the head tube. On that red bike don't measure the curve of the top tube, just pretend it is strait.

When in doubt always put your hands together and ask jesus:
