thanks so much for posting this, rij! I'm having a 51cm Orca built for me right now, and have been trying to confirm the standover measurement for a while. I knew it felt taller than my Pilot, but could never confirm exactly how much taller. The only thing I could find online said that the 54 had an 31.5" standover--if the 51 wasn't at least an inch less than that, I (and my 31" inseam) would be in trouble. Assuming the Orca geometry is the same as the Onix, you just set my mind at ease.
