Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno Sizing Question
Howdy Friends,
I am 5'10" ish with a 30 inch inseam. I have a longer torso and I am looking to get a SS cross bike. Should I get a 56 cm? 56 bikes have fit me before. What are your suggestions with this bike?
Thanks,
Rabbit.

Thanks man. I am just concerned with this bike because some say that the sizing on BD website is inaccurate. I am thinking I might need a 56 but I would like to hear from someone who has a 30 inch inseam who is about 5'10 has also bought this bike.

Compare to the BD site, looks the same. The charts should be good to go.

You can't size a bike based on your inseam. Top tube length is the most important factor.
