Talk me into, or out of, keeping this bike



I am able to set up all my contact point on this frame. The only issue is the standover height is 1 cm higher than bottom of my crotch.

The only way I can think to drop standover height is to switch to 650b wheels. For those of you who understand these calculations:
  • The bike is currently running 700x32. What is the largest tire I could run on 650b and still get the standover to drop by 2 cm?
  • What will happen to the trail number?
  • How high should the BB be running the 700x32 tires to be safe to drop it 2 cm?

Last, is this a viable solution, or should I just get a bike with less standover height?

Thanks in advance.
