The top tube length is more telling to me, as long as I can get a seat post that will adjust out to my needs, I go by the top tube length as the more important when I compare bicycles to one another for size.

This is what I'm thinking, too. And from the second pic, it's looks like a relatively long top tube. You should measure that, @Foghat, and compare it to other bikes that fit you well. There isn't a universally accepted "correct" way to measure, but most of us and most manufacturers use C-t-C.
