I threw rear clusters on both bikes recently, so I have taller gears that help with standing more.
But if you really want to do a lot of standing on a round crank bike, you probably want to go down to 150mm cranks to give you a reasonable 300mm or 12” step size. That’s what Elliptigo did with their SUB.
BTW, who’s the guy from Wisconsin (I think?) that some folks here know who rides a custom bike built for standing only?
