From my own former experience as an amateur racing cyclist, I can tell you
that there are, indeed, some dimensions that have always been hard imperial
(unfortunate as this may be).
They are wheel sizes (typically 27), chain link lengths (usually 0.5, but
1 on some track bikes), and internal

I evidently realize that, Brian. However, these dimensions are actually
hard metric ones! The first being 25 mm and the second 28 mm.
Are you sure about this or are you just assuming? Many traditional bicycle
measurements were from Britain...in Imperial measurements.
Do you have a source
Marcus in USMA 20950 displayed intense misdirected emotion. The British
bicycle industry has from its beginning been totally non-metric. The usual
tire diameter was 28 or 26 with a 1-3/8 cross section. I believe
European manufacturers have copied some of the imperial dimensions, such as

By the time I took up bicycle racing (early fifties), just about all racing
bikes (including my own) had 27 wheels (or, at least, that's what they were
called). This may very well have been a hard-metric value (possibly either
68.5 cm or 69 cm). More likely, though, the rim diameter was a

There is a possibility that such parts when made in metric factories, in
metric countries, using standard metric steel sizes, may in fact rationalise
the 1 inch to 25 mm and the 1.12 inch to 28 mm. The differences are not
noticed and even if they were, they can always be excused away
