Hi John. If you dislike minimal standover, my recommendation might not be the best! Standover has never bothered me, for several reasons. In all my many miles and years of road riding, neither I nor any of my riding partners has ever smashed into the top tube. And if there was a situation where that was likely, you are probably going to be out of control to some extent--stomping hard up a hill, slipping on a pedal---and not able to simply plant your feet firmly on the ground at shoulder distance; ipso facto, moot point anywho. And on a 59cm with a 74cm seat height, you *will* have clearance with shoes of some kind, whether clipless or street, during normal stops, without leaning the bike--which, don't forget, also has a 2 percent slope. Still, a bit more seat post and a higher longer stem on a 57 will be fine if that equals more comfortable for you, even psychologically. The AHH is a beauty! Curious what the folks at Riv recommend for you.
