All this talk of Taller stack for shorter torso, long and low for big torso's

Hows one to know what they are?

I am almost 6'2 with a 34 inseam. What would that make me?

I am guess a retul fit or something would tell me, But I am just wondering if there is a standard?

Someone with your dimensions is on the long leg-short torso side, though not extremely so. There's other things that potentially would affect your bike selection and fit would be how long your arms are. Definitely find a good fitter, get fit (on a fit bike if possible) so you know the best options for you - Retul or not.

Be glad you don't have my problem. 5'8 and 32inch inseam. Add a 6'2 wingspan on a 130lb body. Bike fit is a pain, I have to have a huge seat to bar drop and be stretched out.

I'd say you were pretty normal, on the middle range, not either of the extremes.

As an example I am on the long legs small torso at 6'1 with a 37inch inseam.
