I am 5'10, right between a large and medium frame. I am half way done with a 2016 stumpy build with a medium frame. Should I trade the frame in for 2017 large or keep the 2016?
I'm 5'9" and have always ridden a med, but can get away with riding a large, though that comes with a penalty of not being able to use as long of a dropper.

How is the top tube length for you? I have fairly long arms.
They've always felt good to me, but I also don't feel the need to have a super short stem. I think I'm my 2015 stump I had a 70mm stem, then for 2016/17 they lengthened the bike a touch. I know my arms are slightly on the longer side for my hight, but they aren't really long. I'd try to get my ape index but I can't for the life of me find a tape measure.

Hmm, I am short stem freak. Planning on running a 50mm stem on it. I'm planning on stopping at my lbs soon to give them both a rip. Thanks for your input!
