KnottedYet: Thanks for the tips. I'll check my current bike also. Do you mean my fingers touching the clamp itself or reaching the stem. I've never checked that. I think stand over height, being able to drop the heel and blocking view of the hub are all OK in my current bike. [By the way, I have to thank you for the Chacos suggestion, which I picked from other threads a while ago -- during the summer, I walk to work in Chacos and then change to dressier shoes]

Veronica: I'm 5'7" after a nurse tells me to stand tall 3 times and my 'wingspan' is about the same as my height, Ã* la Vitruvian Man.
