I wonder that also.but one mans clearance is different than anothers. Perhaps when using as a trail rider he wants a little more for stepping over the top tube when hauling stuff on the rear rack but yea. I figure if I can 'stand over' flat footed with my shoes on level ground that's good

First, there is a buyer for the frame! I'm very happy about this, as It is going to a good home. Second, if I'm understanding your question and explanation, Benzzoy, the saddle height is perfect. The bike fits almost perfectly (a tad bit tight in the standover dept...I should have gotten a

Sorry Patrick, for being unclear. I was wondering how you can have standover issues when the TT-to- saddle distance is rather large compared to, for example, my LHT. I measured my bikes and all have TT-to-saddle distances of around 6 to 7 inches, even though most do not have level TTs. In your

OK, not to be intentionally obtuse, but someone's gotta ask: How can it be too big if you have so much seatpost showing in your pic, even with the 6 degree (I think) TT upslope, and especially with a thick saddle such as a Brooks B17? As reference, my LHT with a non-level TT and a B17 has maybe
