I have recently had a chance to have a look at the basso tera bicycle in size XL, 57cm frame ( that's the biggest size they are offering ). My height is 6'4 and inseam is ~36 inches/91cm. Unfortunately I could not test ride it as it was assembled straight from the box and had no pedals. I really like this bike as it is beautiful, but I keep looking at the picture with me on it, it looks small and I don't know if it will be comfortable in a long run or for longer journeys. At the moment I'm commuting 10 miles each way and doing longer rides at the weekend on gravel/pavement roads, with time this will increase greatly. Could you advise me so I do not make the wrong decision. Thank you in advance.

That bike’s too small for your head. You’ll be getting neck and upper back pain, definitely.
Looks small to me
I would head over to r/bikefit. Read their rules and post there. There are quite a few knowledgeable people there.
I don’t know about the bike, but you’re gonna need a big helmet to fit that noodle of yours…….
I am also 6’4” and had to go with a 61cm frame
That hats going to blow off when you pick up some speed, be careful cowboy.
I’m 5’11” 34 inseam and ride a 58cm pretty comfortably. I can’t imagine being 4.5″ taller and riding a 57
I am 5’10” and had to size up from my normal 54mm to L (56) on my Basso Palta. I think Basso frames run small; that being said, I think a 54 wouldn’t have been too bad. You could also buy a longer headset, I think Basso has a variety of sizes available on their website.
I am a big believer in getting the bike that looks the best, as that’s what translates to the most happy feelings. Get the bike!
Kind of hard to tell but it doesn’t look like a great fit.
