    I’m also 5’8” with a 30” inside leg and it frustrates me how tall bikes are becoming, especially as 5’8” is about the average height of a UK male, so I don’t see myself as particularly small.

    Hi Brian and welcome. A quick way I used to reduce the seat height of my Tiger was to drop the fork legs through the triple clamps - I did mine 15 mm and it helped a lot and for no money. Took about 30 mins to do and no adverse effects at all.
