True, but the ones I tried were either too big for me to stand with my feet on the floor and my crotch clear of the top tube or the ones where I was clear left me really hunched up on the frame.
All of the shops I visited to try a bike for size were unwilling to order me a smaller one to try for size unless I actually paid the full price up front with no refund if it didnt fit. One charming gent even offered to sell it on for me if I didnt like it for a small fee.

So my off the peg choice is limited by that.
