Agree with you on that, Jim. My new SimpleOne is a 60cm, and fits me fine. Although in a perfect world, I'd probably be on a 62, or even 64 at 6' and 89is pbh. But here's where it gets strange, both my Surly bikes are 58 cm and also fit fine. And both have less seat post showing than the SO! Go figure. But a larger bike is so much nicer to ride. Years ago (before I started going to Hiawatha) was talked into getting a 56cm Trek 1200 at a shop. Now, it was a nice bike, but never could get the thing to fit. Except with a stem extender and bars hiked way up. Ended up selling it to a friend. Then again, my 56cm Sam Hillborne fits well. But that was the first run. I'd order a 60cm now to get the same fit.
