Yep, this is me, I'm definitely "longer on the top side" which is why I focused so much on the standover.

Thank You! This is super helpful! Looking at these numbers this size Large will definitely be "up in my business" when I'm standing, but it should be pretty comfy while riding. Based on these far more comprehensive numbers, it looks like I'll probably have the seat post nearly slammed, and will probably want to switch the stem from 90mm to a 70mm...But we'll wait until I can toss my ass on the thing before I start modding it...
