Standover is roughly 33.75 with Loup Loup tires, measured just forward of the bottom bracket.
Saddle height from BB spindle is roughly 34" measured along ST axis. From the floor about 43". I added some photos to the album in the original post with the Soma side by side with my Rivendell. Clearly the Rivendell is more pleasing to the eye, but the rider interface points are pretty similar. I need a Tallux to get the Soma handlebars up to the exact height of the Rivendell. The Technomic is already at the minimum insertion point. But I think it's ok the way it is when i ride it, so that's not a change i am planning on making.
