if you can stand over the bike comfortably with just 2-3 cm's of clearance, it fits. basically.
What if you had really long legs but short arms/torso. You could get the 2cm of clearance above top tube on a very large frame but then wouldn't be able to reach the bars as the top tube would be too long.
Standover is the least important factor to me when looking for bike fit. The most important is top tube length.
