You guys are a treasure trove of information, thanks! @Mat, thanks for the link to Steve Hogg; his functional method of determining height is the sort of method I use in my other athletic endeavors. It also sounds like I share some other considerations with a number of you: midfoot pedaling, thinnish soled shoes, and tight hamstrings/glutes. I’ve been working on the hamstrings, but not very diligently. My Sam is an older size 60, and I’m really happy with it. The bike I’m trying to replace is a 23” 1984 Univega Gran Turismo made by Miyata, and I’m working on checking out a semi-local 25” 1984 Miyata 610, which is basically the same bike but different branding and a size up, which I’m pretty excited about. If the seller’s measurements are correct, the top tube is about the same length but the standover height is a little monstrous: I’ll have about ¼” plus shoe sole thickness. That’s about an inch higher than my Sam, which I’m quite comfortable on, so hopefully it will work out.
