Hate to say it but standover height is not the main criteria for a bike fitting. I have bikes that I cannot touch the ground unless I lean the bike over. Even on some Compact frames I struggle. And once I am on the saddle- I cannot touch the ground on any of my bikes, The feet are still a couple of inches short. But I do have the Crank to Crutch height right- the reach is perfect and The bikes fit.
