Windsor Oxford stand-over height?
I'm looking at buying a new commuter bike.
Does anyone know the stand-over height for the Windsor Oxford 51cm and 56cm? The bike is sold at Bikes Direct. I'm trying to figure out which size to order. I'm 5'10", so I assume the 56. But i read they run "big" and have a high stand-over height.
Also the tire size is 700x32C. But can you put a smaller tire, like a 700x28? Just curious.

Standover isn't the best way to fit a bike. You're taller than me, so the 51 would probably be way too small.
Yes on the tire, too.

OK, thanks for the replies. I realize stand-over isn't the only thing to consider, I was just a little bit spooked by some reviews of the 51 where they said the stand-over height was very high.
