BIKE FIT FOR NON-RACERS

I really can't be bothered with crouching down to go a bit faster - it's
a pain in the neck, literally.

You're right a shorter top tube would help. I'm not so sure about the
lower bottom bracket, as I don't like to worry too much about striking a
pedal when going round a corner.
