Overall that looks really nice, so thanks for sharing.

A bit of unsolicited feedback; listing the seat post options based on rider height (regular for shorter than 6’3”, and extra long for taller than 6’3”) is wrong.

Seat post height is based on how long your legs are, not how tall you are. If anything, you should list that by inseam.

As it is, I would have no idea which option is the most appropriate.

Thank you, just what I was thinking!

What you want to measure is the PBH (pubic bone height). It is very precise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yxZkHpAB4g

Yes, that's how any pro or aspiring bike store will size your bike.
Thank you. I've put it on my to-do list.
