Any one have any info on either the standover or BB height of Ridley cross bikes? I'm looking into a 58 as it has the same TT length as my road bike, but the frame seems to have a high top tube; however, I haven't been able to find any information on the how high it is from the ground...any thoughts?

Thanks!

the numbers for the 58 appeared to work for me. but i decided to check the 56 "just in case"
sure enough. the 58 seemed HUGE. and the 56 fits me perfecto.
the TT is 1 or 1.5cm (depending on the bike) shorter than my road bike. i used a 1cm shorter stem.

i am really happy with this setup & feel great on the bike (so far... just built it up last week).

measuring from the floor THRU the BB to the TT (perpendicular to the floor):

BB: 29.5cm
TT: 82cm (almost in the center of the TT)

hope that helps ya

before i bought mine, the advice i got from a local pro was "buy the smallest size you can, use a longer stem, and have more seatpost showing"

thanks for the great feedback! the sizes you listed...are those for the 56 or 58?

thanks again,

for the 56

fwiw. im 6'2" ride a 58 litespeed & a 57 Pegoretti. my old redline was a 58 (but the TT was definately too long)

thanks for all of your help!
