robocam said:I checked with a square this time (to make sure the ruler markings line up), and it is closer to 28-3/4" at the lowest point. The bike is flat on the ground unloaded. That's just about where you would be if you got off your seat. This is a medium framed X-1. Batboy, I'll try to measure my AM1000 for you soon.

In bicycle shoes, someone with a 28" inseam might improve their standover by half an inch.
Bikes these days (27.5, 29, 26 with fat tires) with suspension, aren't really designed to have much more than 29" of standover in a best case scenario...
For those interested, here a picture of a medium sized AM1000 unloaded an on flat grounds.
