Very true. Especially with high BBs and steep seat tubes.
My BJ is 20" (C/T), my inseam with chunky bike shoes is 30". I can standover the bike with next to zero clearance (balls nestling).
Judging by the final set-up. A 20.5" with 0.5" less seat post and stem quill showing, and a 10-15mm shorter stem, may well have been perfect. Building a bike specifically to fit me, but not being able to standover it would, however, just be wrong IMO.
