Motobecane Fantom Cross UNO Sizing
I have an inseam just short of 31" and have been checking the FCU standover heights on BD. It seems like only the smallest 49 would fit me, but I'd prefer a bike with an ETT between 535-545.
Is the FCU just a really tall bike? The geometry seems really weird.

naw bro, we just don't like short people on bikes.
J/k. I wish I had more information to provide but afaik the Kilo is a tall bike with a shorter TT. motobecane track may fit you in a size 52.

i have a 56cm and just measured - standover is 31 5/8" (803mm) with 700 x 40 studded tires. the geometry chart says it should be 830mm.
i think the geometry chart is wrong. i bought it from a guy who ordered this and also said it was wrong, sold it because it was smaller that what the website said.
edit: the guy who sold it to me said he was selling it because it was too small for him. he said the website geometry chart mislead him to believe the bike was bigger than it really was. i usually ride 55 - 56, and this frame fits me fine
