Standover height for 22" frame

[Nate]

Hi All,

I was on the verge of purchasing an ST 1 T, but am now on the fence given that the ST 2 has the option of the larger 22" frame. I'm 6'2" so am probably tall enough, but was wondering if anyone has the standover height for the ST2 22" frame?

I'm 6'2" and on a large ST1. Swapped out the stem to a 13cm and added a seatpost with much more setback to address the steep seat tube angle. Fits me just fine.

If your inseam is more than 33, you should def go with 22" frame.

Yes, current bike has a 33 inch stand-over height. Going to go with the 22" ST2 frame.

I started with the 20" ST-1 Limited but upgraded to the 22" ST-2 after a 60-day trial. I'm 6'1" with a 32.5 inseam. The standover height seems to me to be pretty close to 31.5 in. or so and I found that I did not have to raise my seat as high as I did on the 20 in. frame which seemed better (more comfortable) to me in terms of the reach to the handlebars. I have written an earlier post on the differences I noted between the ST-1 and the ST-2. There are a bunch of smaller differences that really counted for me (e.g., the charging system, placement and ease of the lighting operation; etc. But the larger differences like the motor, Omni computer interface, battery wattage, regenerative braking (5 levels instead of 2) and the handlebar controller are worth the money. The componetry in terms of the drive train is also a good bit better than on the ST-1. I concluded that the difference in price was well worth it from my point of view.

Received confirmation today from Palo Alto Bikes (who contacted Stromer), that standover for the 22" frame is 32 inches directly above the bottom bracket and 33.5 inches at the Omni display screen.

Also worth noting, the 22" is currently only available in white. Don't know if thats just temporary or long term.
