The original owner was 5'8". Said the bike shop set it up for him and it was his college commuter.

P.S. I got the tape measure out and the top tube is "only" 23.5 inches. The catalog shows the seat tube as being measured to the top of its "extension, but it actually seem to be to "top of top tube" So this bike is a "Large" frame but not an " Extra Large" I'll be directly comparing its geometry to that of my single speed Ascent, I think I have 4 Ascent's in the bike pile now. Only one is correctly mountain bike sized for me.
