Bikes: 2 many 2 fit here

For my own preference, I don't buy the notion of standover clearance as a primary sizing criterion. My trousers inseam happens to be 30"; my physical inseam measured from crotch to floor in thin-soled shoes is ~33", and 33" is also the height of the top tubes of my classic framed bikes. Size-wise my bikes fit me perfectly for riding, nor is straddling the top tube an issue, for that matter. I have ridden this size off frame (off & on) for the past 32 years. So there.
