I got the Motobecane Boris X5 with an XL frame in matte black. It is an excellent bike for the price. I am 6'3" 245lb and the bike does fit me but I replaced the handlebars with 5" riser bars because I prefer a more upright riding position. If you do the same, keep in mind that the cables are at their limit with 5" bars so you may want to try 3" or 4". I mostly use it as a cruiser but I do plan to try it in the snow this winter. I also replaced the grips with Bell ergonomic grips, I did this with all my bikes to prevent hand pain. Glad to see the pedals and seat are very good, there was no need to replace them. The front derailleur and front brake needed adjustment but nothing was damaged. I do like the paint and the logos are minimal and also look very good.
