edit: This is totally unofficial, but I just came across a forum where a user said he measured his BB height on his Tricross, and it was 27.5cm. It looks like the SR800 has a 26.5cm height.
That does seem low for a cross bike. I will check that out when riding it.

BTW since the distance between the saddle and the BB will vary based on the rider and not the bike, a tall person should be equally inconvienced by a high BB. Its not a huge issue but in Manhattan the Avenues have 20 stop lights per mile.
