Measured at a point straight up from the B.B. (which is roughly around the point where I stand over the bike) I get something in the 84-5cm range which provides about 2cm before things would start to get tight.
Then again, I’m running Compass 38s, which lowers the standover from what I assume was a lager expected tire size with the Riv measurements. If I were to run 48s with a massively knobby off-road tread things might get close, but I’m not planning to do that. What I did find switching from the 55 is that with much less quill height needed, the bars come back towards me about 1cm less than they did on the smaller frame (with about 6cm of quill extension). I’ve gone with a 9cm stem rather than the 10 I was thinking I’d need and all is truly delightful.
