Wait...had the discussion moved on?
This is interesting, and shows the difficulty in bicycle sizing- we're all built a bit differently.
With a 32" inseam, I'm on a 22" frame (56-58 cm ?),, and the fit of the bike feels very good indeed. I'm showing 3"-4" of seat post at the comfort setting, with just a tiny bit of under reach along the top tube. There's a bit of further correction left with moving the saddle forward. I'm guessing a 1/2" or so is going to do it...
I know I'm getting so very close with this frame.
