Hi there,
thanks for your reply. I have tried it. last weekend I rode it on a 10 mile tour. it feels fine to my. not much clearance in terms of stand over, probably an inch or so. and the top tube feels a bit too long, though it could be adjusted with a shorter stem.

My concern is about the standover and clearance. is one inch clearance good enough for the type of riding I am planning to do with this bike (touring, commuting, light trail riding)? thanks again.
