As title says, what is the stand-over height of your 56cm ONLY Surly LHT/DT
(geometry is identical for these frames)?
Please measure at mid-tube, half way between head tube and seat tube,
as the SO varies along the sloping TT length. Also, please indicate
if you're using tires sized differently than the original size 700x37 tires,
since this affects the stand-over height measurement.
I'm considering a 56cm DT and I'm cutting it close SO-wise, thus my
little "survey" here.
I know the Surly spec states 81.2cm, but my smaller LHT is ~1.7cm
taller than specified (likely due to tires), so I want to confirm actual SO height on a 56cm
before I make the decision to purchase.
Thanks in advance.
