Hi,

We don't disagree. You have already pointed out the front height
limits of 700C wheels, so for people below a certain height 700C
wheels are not a good idea, whatever the stand over height is.

I was being general, regarding smaller people, I was not
implying that 700C wheels are too big in general for 5'5".

e.g.the front end of this "Medium" :

looks identical to the "Large" version :

Standover height clearly doesn't tell the whole story here ....

rgds, sreten.
