The LeTour is tall enough I can barely stand over it, it does touch the crochey parts but as long as I do not dismount into a big recessed area it's not a problem. The seatpost is just about buried. But it feels fine to ride and I've done the longest runs on it actually. It is perhaps a little less comfortable to ride low in the drops but that is partly due to my inflexible lower back. I rarely ride in the drops on it. On my Prologue I can ride in the drops or layed over on clip on aero bars but I have to tilt the seat down a little to do so.
