sorry for piggybacking but no use starting a new thread when i have a really similar question:

I'm a road rider that JUST got a cross bike (haven't even ridden it yet, only took the store model for a little spin since they didn't have my size and had them order mine) and am a little worried that the bike might be a bit too big for cross. I ride a 49cm road bike and went with a 48cm cross bike for a little more clearance than i'm used to but after browsing the forum am worried that might not be enough leeway...

anyone have suggestions on how much standover clearance is best for cross before its too late to negotiate a swap with the store?

i got the scattante x560

thanks!
