Look on your old clamp....

usually the size is imprinted on the underside of the clamp body. Otherwise your second and third options, and the best ones if you don't still have the old clamp or it doesn't have the size stamped on it, is to call Redline at redline@seattlebikesupply.com and ask them. Or borrow a caliper and measure the top of the seat tube of the bike. If you meausre simply get the size that is closest, but not smaller than your measurement.
