I just measured my bike and came up with a standover height of 81.5 mm, measured directly above the bottom bracket. My inner leg is about 36" and I could lift the bike at least 2". I wasn't wearing shoes so in reality I have more than that.
I also have 700x44 tires, so that raises the bike a bit.
Thank you for the measurement!
My Inseam is 33" (84cm) with shoes, so if you have 2" to lift to your 36" there would be a stand over height of 34" on the bike. If I'm right, I guess there wouldn't be much room for me when jumping off in an emergency.
Google says: "The stand over height is the vertical distance from the center of the top tube to the ground in relation to the rider's crotch height" So I guess your "lift up measurement" was exactly this.
The L Frame is a little short, what would you do?
