While I do not get all excited about standover, it does not look like you would have any at all. But, then, maybe, you just have your saddle way to low instead. French Fit or not.

The 30 years ago, the saying was a fist full of seat post and at least one inch of standover in your cycling shoes, level top tube bicycles were all there were. I do not get all excited over standover unless I crunch down on something I wish I had not have, then I get excited.
