I'm 5'10 - can't decide on medium or large for this. My inseam is 31.5", the standover on the ripcurrent (bike I'm looking at) for large is 30.3" - seems fairly close to my crotch there. the medium is 29.5". I just don't want to regret making the wrong choice. I'm leaning towards medium. If anyone who struggled on the same decision could help out, would be greatly appreciated!

I think there may be an agility factor to consider here. At 6'2", I rode large frame bikes most of my life, but the latest is a medium, and I love it. At 69, I find it much easier to get on and off of. I can still ride a large frame comfortably, but find them much more challenging to mount and dismount. No shame with the smaller frame here.....

I'm 5' 9" and got a large and it fits ok. What I don't like about the CCS frame is that as you go up in size the stand over height increases but the top tube length does not change. Makes for what I feel is a too upright position, I'd prefer to be stretched out and leaning forward a bit.

I'm 5-10", with 32" inseam. I bought a large frame CCS. If I was reordering I'd get a medium. Not a big deal overall though. I can stand over bar with both feet flat on the ground.
