a high bb does not make the bike fit like a larger bike. it just makes the head tube longer and the top tube higher...so the standover is a little higher, and not like it's multiple inches either.

size your bike by the top tube and unless you have some crazy body proportions, everything should fall into place. getting a track bike that is 2cm smaller than the appropriate sized road bike will just give you a bike with too much saddle to bar drop...that's kinda ok though, because when you further exaggerate that problem by using that jaguar stem that is too short and too deep and then putting your b123's on it, atleast some of us can make fun of you when you post pics of your bike.
