Hehe, 35 inch standover on the Univega, and 61-62cm. Just about right. The stem may be too long as usual. I am comfortable on a bike that size, but the stems always turn out to be on the long side It was the era of the 100+ mm stem, so I run into that alot. I have a long torso, so a bike that is supposed to fit me feels cramped usually.

Side note....Yeah the cables are crossed on the Trek. I read about that on Sheldons site, and it made sense. They make an X under the down tube. It seems to work just fine, but will confuse the hell out of you come adjustment time, haha. The shifter housings are a little long. They were pre cut at the shop, and I guesstimated. Better to error on the too long thing, than too short. I was also not sure of how much the bars would have to be tilted, so I left them long until I can ride it a while. I will probably trim them down some in a few weeks.,,,,BD
