Over the rail I have just the min of 1" clearance when waring riding shorts. I am new to riding and am not used the seat being up high where your feet don't touch the ground when sitting on seat and you stop. I did have them change out the stem. to shorter one and one that put the handlebars a little higher. The LBS says I have the right size.
I am 5' 10.5" with a 32.5" inseam. The 19 fits me perfectly with about 1-2" clearance. You shouldn't be able to touch the ground when on the seat. Seems like the 21" was a wise choice for you.
