• Returned to the cad model over lunch today and discovered that my short roadie chainstays could cause trouble with a big tyre- model shows 45mm wtb resolute...

    Also thinking that the 832mm standover height might be asking for trouble given my 880 mm inseam...

    Looks like a small geometry re-think is in order...

    If you think standover should be lower I wouldn't worry. I've couple frames with the same standover as my inseam and with cycling shoes on there has been no problems whatsoever (raced cx etc.). I'm so used to it I don't even think about it. I can imagine that someone with long legs would be afraid of going even near french fit in these forearms length of seatpost -days.

  • Thanks, that's good to know.
    After reading that I checked my standover heights on bikes I've been comfortable riding off-road. They all came out around the 810-820mm mark which was reassuring.
