Men's 27.5" Decathlon ST100 [walmart.com]
I realize this is not the same level of the original post but good deal for a bike.
"You've saved $10 with WOWFRESH promo code"
Amex Everyday Bluecash supposedly 3% for online orders, YMMV if this counts for pickup...
In for one. I bought a bike for $20 that needed work yesterday....so that's backburner now LOL.

In that moment of instability, what is the benefit of a design that does give that extra safety margin from possibly tipping over versus being able to slide forward and put both feet down?
So you're on uneven ground and you plant your one foot down and it slides for whatever reason? Who you rather (a) fall onto the ground or (b) put your other foot down to keep from falling?
So you're on uneven ground and you plant your one foot down and it slides for whatever reason? Who you rather (a) fall onto the ground or (b) put your other foot down to keep from falling?
So, what exactly is the benefit of preferring a frame design that doesn't allow the rider that extra margin of safety to put both feet on the ground while standing over the frame?

Are you saying you've seen a situation where someone makes an emergency maneuver (either a stop or a turn, etc) to avoid a collision where the ability to slide off the seat and plant both feet on the ground would not have prevented them from falling over?

Are you saying the REI site I poster earlier is somehow wrong about their stand over advice for bicycles?
For a beginner that's never ridden a bike before, flat footing can add confidence. That is true.
For someone that's learned and mastered balancing a bike(does not take long) you don't need to flat foot both feet. You don't use your feet to stop the bike. This isn't the flintstones. You only touch your feet down after the bike has stopped.
As far as your REI recommendation. You somehow trust a big box retailer for bike measurements? Big box retailers don't have the same frame and bike sizes that bike shops have, they measure differently and more generically. REI is better than walmart, but they still nowhere near a bike shop.
In the past I couldn't double flat foot my mountain bike, maybe my tippy toes. But today they have dropper seat posts and I can double flat foot with the seat dropped all the way down. Again, I preferred the best riding position and comfort while riding in my past. However, today's technology negates the compromise and I can use my dropped seat post to double flat foot. As well as frame geometries that have hydroformed top tubes that swoop down at the seat tube.
Get those right and your stand-over should be a non-issue, unless maybe the geometry of the Axum isn't as good as people claim it to be.

I said "Are you saying...".
That's a QUESTION, not a STATEMENT. LOL.
Ok....let's dissect this following statement...
"For someone that's learned and mastered balancing a bike(does not take long) you don't need to flat foot both feet. You don't use your feet to stop the bike. This isn't the flintstones. You only touch your feet down after the bike has stopped."
Are the all people posting in this thread and/or buying this bike masters of balancing bicycles? If not, would it be beneficial for them to be able to put both feet down to balance themselves over the top bar in an emergency? Yes or no? If no, why not?
Where did I say you used your feet to stop a bike? This has always been about how to keep yourself upright immediately following an emergency stop.
"You only touch your feet down after the bike has stopped."
EXACTLY. Do people balance better in one foot or two?
So you think REI's stand over advice is flawed?
Ok. Do trek, giant, cannondale, Fiji, etc etc list stand over height in their specs? If any do, why?
So it sounds like you agree at least that there is not an actual benefit to a bicycle you can't comfortably stand over, it's just you have grown accustomed to not standing over bike frames, yes?
Would it be beneficial to someone with much less than 7 years experience, say it's someone in their 40's or older, that's just getting into cycling, to have the extra margin of safety to be able to comfortably stand over a frame for emergency situations?
There is no way he received a medium frame, unless he ordered Axum DP in red. Every other option of this bike is a LARGE.
The fact is that all the measurements I was referring to are wrong, other than the seat tube the manufacturer reports...and maybe the chainstays

He builds out and reviews several big box store bikes. Mongoose and Schwinn and bikes from Dick's. Granted, I don't most guys can go to his level of build out. But the confidence is that this is a bike that can build up on and take on casual trail rides. I have a mongoose XR-pro, but I was thinking finding a hardtail. Was hoping for something in 27.5 but this seems solid.

You clearly have very little riding experience, or it's been a while. Go out and ride, do some emergency stops. You don't need both feet.. Once you've stopped, you can balance on one foot just fine. Remember that your bike forms the other leg of the triangle.
You also skipped over my parenthesis where I state "doesn't take long" to master balancing a bike. A child can do it in a couple of hours, an adult will take let's say 2 weeks, who knows. I've never met an adult that couldn't ride a bike. I know they exist, but most adults rode when they were children. They just need a few minutes to refresh themselves, but after an hour they're solid. This I've seen first hand with my own parents in their late 50's. During covid, they went out and bought bikes like everyone else. It only took them a few minutes to remaster after several decades of no riding.
Bike geeks want every specification, including bottom bracket height, chainstay length, reach. They literally measure everything and publish it. Standover is a number to look at, what we're saying is that it's not the priority. It's like looking at 2 cars you're interested in, but only looking at horsepower. If 1 car has 10% less power, but is more comfortable and quieter are you going to skip it because horsepower is the most important thing to you? No of course not, you take it into consideration, but I argue comfort, handling and quietness matter more.
All of this is moot because modern mountain geometry is SLACK SLACK SLACK. They raise the head tube up and keep the seat tube low. If you spend enough money to buy a hydroformed aluminum frame, the top tube can have swooping j hook angles. Combined with a dropper seat post, standover is a non-issue.
