From: Wherever u see a fred, I am there.
Youse guys with short legs who fit for standover height are doing yourselves a disservice. You'll never get your reach and seat-to-pedal anywhere near comfortable. I rode a bike when I was a kid whose top tube was too high for me (the bike was just too big).....you can learn to deal with a too-tall top tube eaily....ut there's no getting around the reach and seat-to-pedals.

Check this out- the bike I mentioned above, which was sold to a woman by a bikeshop as a custom build:


It's like a 45cm frame....and the lady actually takes a 52/53 IIRC! Look at that stack of spacers! (And it still didn't work....was totally unridable)- Last I heard, she had gotten the creep that sold it to her to take it back, but he didn't have the money to refund her...... What a travesty!
