Hello everybody!

I am thinking to buy Sunn Travis frame from CRC, but need to know standover height. Sunn Prim will also do since it has identical geometry to Travis.

Does any of you guys have Travis or Prim in size XL, and would do me a favor and measure standover?

    Standover height is totally not important, fit is.

    Thanks for your response. By fit, you mean ETT?

    I am aware of ETT, REACH, head tube angle and seat tube angle, but I am also looking for frame with low standover height.

    What about size L, anybody has this bike in size L? If I knew Travis' standover in size L then I could compare it to Commencal Premier's geometry, which is by the way pretty similar to Sunn Travis.

    No. Just how it fits you when you sit on it and how it feels when you ride it. The numbers are not important.
    Why is standover height important to you?

    it just is to some people - otherwise half the manufacturers wouldn't be trying to improve it.

    Are they trying to improve it? Or are they just making sure that you can stand with your feet on the floor and not de-nut yourself?

    Many designs seem to be trying to, rarely see a straight across top tube. Useful if you fall forward onto your feet. I like to have a bit of clearance.

    I think it's because suspension designs are raising the whole bike up, so if they didn't lower the top tube, you couldn't actually straddle the bike, whilst chatting, or just chilling, for example.
