I visited my LBS recently and stood over a bike that had more than an inch of space between my crotch and the top tube.

The salesman saw this and told me it wasn't enough room. On this basis alone, he said the bike wouldn't fit me.

I think the standover was fine. What do you think?

(There might be other reasons for the salesman discouraging me to buy that particular bike -- I don't really know.)
