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 (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.

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 censored 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.
