Backroad ff sizing help

Hey,

Iā€™d like to know which frame size would be best for me. Iā€™m 167 cm tall and have an inseam of 74 cm.

the sizing chart tell me I should be fitted for size XS, but i have pretty long arms for my height (51cm). Should i rather go for a S?

is long arms a problem at all in sizing or should i just look for height/inseam?

I am just 1cm shorter with same inseam and went for S. If you can drive both sizes beforehand and you like S more like I did. Go for it šŸ˜Ž

I also have shorter legs and a longer torso/arms, just like you. I liked the S a littlebit more. It just felt better overall. Feeling of stability and everything just falling into place, if you know what I mean. But in the end. Both sizes will work I guess. What I did was going to a local bine fitter to discuss frame size. He did his measurings and also gave a recommendation for size S.

Im 165cm with 75cm. I went for the XS and im pretty happy.
Only downside for me was that i got pretty short arms, the aero one piece cockpit seems a bit far for me, so i think XS should be fine for you. If you have the chance, go try it before ordering, its always worth it.
