Am I long legged/short torso?

Hi,

Trying to figure out if I have long legs/short torso. I’m about 6,0 feet tall with a 35 inch inseam.

I believe I do have a little longer legs/shorter torso. But how do you really know without, let’s say, a bike fit?

What are the average proportions for a guy my size?

You, sir, are leggy.

I consider myself on the long legged/short torso side of the argument and I’m 6’0" with a 34" inseam. That’s cycling inseam with the book jammed up into the crotch kind of measuring; I wear 32" inseam pants.

Yes, you are long legged / short torsoed.

We will call you spider monkey. You can be part of the rest of the monkey clan.

I am 6’2" with 36" inseam. That is using the book shoved in the crotch method.

Look for cannondale, blue, and scott for bikes.
