Yep, gotta second that one. Think about it ... where does one spend
the most time on the bike - riding it, or straddling it ?
There is a margin of allowance when it comes to stand-over, but
very little once in the saddle and pedaling. You have to be comfortable.
The saddle height, TT length, and stem length are very important.
If you choose to ride a slightly taller frame, just be careful to unload
properly so you won't be singing Soprano
