I'm considering buying a 1990s Burley Duet, the model with the loop frame design. I'm 5'10" with a 33" inseam. This bike is the large size, measured at 23" from BB center to top of captain's seat tube collar. Standover in the middle of the captain's top tube is about 31.75".

I clear the top tube by about an inch and a quick ride with my usual clipless pedals and shoes seemed comfortable. I think the fit will work, but I just want to make sure. My wife is 5'7" and fits the stoker size just fine. Suggestions?

Oh, I thought by the title you were asking me if I was happy w/ my size!

[zonatandem]

Yup! Do it!
The 'loop' design is great, built like a bridge!
