I have three vintage Treks that are 22.5" - been thinking of trying a 24" to get the 'classic' look of about 4" of seat post exposed. My 22.5" frames have around 6" of seat post showing.
This one is a 24", which should work fine with my 34" inseam. Most of the frames with "square" dimensions are a compromise for me. A 22" frame is a bit too short on the top tube, and a 24" frame is a bit of a reach from the saddle to crank.
If I have to choose, I'll choose the latter and move the saddle down below what would be considered "proper".
