Stand-over clearance.
Often mentioned but do you actually have any?
Sonic and I have differing views on this so I thought I would ask the forum for some infos.
Trying to keep it simple lets have some info.
this is all presuming that you have a correct sized 26" wheeled bike. (add any extra info needed.
bike type: HT or Fully
Travel: Front and Rear (if an HT leave rear out)
clearance: with both feet flat on the ground and with the nose of your saddle touching you body.
your height and inner leg measurements approx.
thanks muchly.

HT (NS - 17.5" - 160mm) - had about 3 to 4 inches. But the frame was smaller and more chuckable.
HT (GT Aggressor XCR - 20" - 130mm) - upto 1 inch. The smaller size was too short/compact for me. Never had any issues, it was a great bike to be honest!
HT (P7 - 19" - 140mm) - 1 to 2 inches but I wanted a bigger frame for a compromise between xc comfort and chuckability.

Frame - Orange 5 18" (2008)
Travel - 140
Clearance - Put it this way, if I was to jump forward off the saddle quickly, I'd probably lose any Family Allowance prospects.
Height - Er, about 5'8" (maybe 9" at a push)
Inside Leg - Yes, I have 2 of them, er, I think it's 30"Craig Rogers0 -
Can someone tell me what distance we are talking about here?
If I stand over my bike with my bum touching the nose of the saddle, are we measuring from the bottom of my hanging baskets to the frame or arse to the lowest part of the top tube?
I am 5ft 7" but have a small frame bike and a 1 inch gap between the bottom of my hanging baskets and the frame diresctly below.
although everywhere you read suggests that for my height I should have a medium bike frame, I believe that would just be too big for me.
