Well I've hunted and hunted and I can't find the original source for this information.I'm 5'1, 30 inch inseam or whatever. My legs are definitely not long & my torso is not short...
But what I have understood is that average inseam when measured floor to crotchal area for a 5'2" woman is 28".
My inseam is actually 30.5"
My son is 5'10" and his inseam is 33" - 8 " taller but only 2.5" longer legged.
My dad is 6' 1" and HIS inseam is 32" - almost a FOOT taller and only 1.5" more in the legs.
I rode bike with a woman 5'7" or 5'8" and her arms and legs were the same length as mine. 5" or 6" of difference in height, all in the torso.
If the original information is correct - and I can't verify it nor remember where it came from - then I think you ARE long legged for your height.
Confoozled . . . .

By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.
