I just picked up this 25" 86 bianchi sport sx 700c. I feel like it's a clear indication of how tall of a bike I can stand over. It feels like one more cm and it's going to be in contact with my pelvic bone. The 23" 83 nishiki international feels nice. Standing over it but that with 27" wheels.
The bianchi doesn't feel weird when I ride it. It's just up in me when in standing. That's not the end of the world for me but is it for some people ?
