Frame Recommendation for someone with long legs
 
Hello all.

I'm new to riding and recently built a 61cm Motobecanne Phantom Cross that doesn't fit me very well. The seat height is good, but the top tube is way too long. The fit calculators I've done recommend a bike with a 60cm frame with a comically short 54cm top tube. Can anyone recommend a frame that has dimensions close to this? I'd prefer a cyclocrosser, but could probably live with a road frame. Steel is preferred, but at this point I'd take anything that fits.

Thanks,

-Cormac

I have a road frame that has a 60 cm seat tube and 56 cm top tube available for sale. It's #2 of a series of 15 road frames I constructed in the mid 1970's. It's silver brazed double butted Reynolds 531 frame and fork.
BTW, I think we are distantly related.
