  1. Hello everyone,
    I am looking at buying a Twin Six Rando bike (https://www.twinsix.com/collections/bikes-bits/products/standard-rando-complete-black?variant=9146431299) but the sizing chart has me a little concerned and I wonder if anyone has experience with this.

    When talking with the company they said they main thing to worry about is the effective top tube length, which makes sense. BUT I am worried about the stand over height.

    I am average height (5' 8"😉 and measured my inseam (with the book in the crotch etc) as 29.5". But even smallest frame has a stand over of 30". And being pretty average it seems odd to me that I am on the smallest available frame right now.

    So my question is, am I not understanding how to measure stand over height? I do not want to be on tip toes every time I get off the saddle. Just looking for advice on how important this is. Are these specs normally accurate?
