I have just built up a new frame (sloping top tube) - the top tube is perfect for reach, saddle position is perfect in relation to where I like to be seated/bottom bracket etc, but the standover height is only about .5cm lower than my inseam - I like the feel of this bike, but I have been reading a lot of "sizing" websites and posts and I'm beginning to get a little paranoid that it is too big - am I making a big deal out of nothing - it feels right - but it doesn't line up with what I'm reading "you must have at least 2-4cm of crotch clearance".
Is standover height as important as all the others aspects I have mentioned?
