Elk's is a size smaller. I kept thinking how Elk was much shorter than I was, so the smaller size probably wouldn't have fit me. Plus I remember Elk having her seat post all the way out.

yes, they still have the adjustable stem. I got him to angle them up immediately. I'm not sure if I should go back down or what. I think I had the saddle way to high the entire time I was riding there.

The standover ~ I can feel the bike, just barely. I do have some space that I can lift it off the ground before it really presses into me. Is this OK?

Hubby is reading Andy Pruitt and I did the test for reach about putting you elbow at the end of your saddle and stretching your arm with hand open to the handlebar. My longest finger just did touch, so that sounds good.
