Standover height is not a valid way of bike sizing. You ride bikes, you don't stand over them.

As an imprecise rule of thumb, when you set your seatpost height you should have about a fist full of seatpost showing. It's not really precise but it makes a lot more sense than how your bike fits you when you aren't riding it.
