Yes that is a very large frame on my bike (60). I do have a little bit of room when I stand over the top tube, about a half a inch. When I bought it new way back in 1984 I was still growing and being the cheap bastard I am I did not want to spend the huge sum of $800 on a bike that I would out grow so I got a size I a little bit bigger that I needed. The problem is as you can see from the seat position I stopped growing about at the same time as I got the bike. So yes it is bigger than I need but I am not sure it is dangerous after riding it for over 20 years with out any problems. The next road bike will be smaller though a 58 or maybe a 56 depending on the stem/ brand of bike. I guess I have long legs what can I say .
