Privateer Launch $3,075 161 Enduro Race Bike
I feel your pain when time comes to choose a new bike/frame.
Have a look at the Rallon 29er (SM size, 435mm reach and 1187 wheelbase). I'm also 1,70m, and feel perfect on the bike.
I used to ride other brands before, and lost my mind more than once while choosing the size (Small vs Medium).. and in the end, i've never felt at home on both (Small Commencal meta (27,5) wasn't enough stable on long run when fatigue started to show up, and Medium Spartan (27,5) wasn't playful enough (hard to bunny hop / manual for example)
Last year, I decided to go back to the Orbea family (rode the rallon R4 for 3years before the meta), best decision, perfect sizing ! From what i see, Orbea seems to design their frame around 1,70, 1,80 and 1,90m people whereas most of the other manufacturers around 1,65, 1,75 and 1,85.
