Of course larger is also a longer top tube , so ..shorter stem?
can you straddle the frame standing flat footed ?

Yes, comfortable for long rides (30 mile RT commute, etc).
~1" standover, so it's a little snug
Re: the stem, I kind of like the reach/balance where it's at w/ 100mm, but I have a 90 and a 60 also I think in the parts pile. I want to get a 120 also just to have one around. Does it seem like quill stems longer than 120 are a little harder to come by?
Edit: worth noting this is just an extra frame so I'm not super attached. It is a little nicer than the Raleigh, little lighter, little prettier.
