Having a spot of bother with sizing for a new HT

Torn between the medium and large in 29er guise because the reach looks great on the large but the st is quite long.

5'10 with approx 31 inside leg. I think the 482 st would just be okay with the 120mm dropper but couldnt run anything more.

446 reach is fairly standard these days and about matches my t129.

Thoughts?

If you can't find the size that has both the reach and seat tube height you want, buy a different bike.

As daft as it sounds can you not find one to sit on?

Both valid points, cant find one to sit on unfortunately.

Geo and sizing isnt my strong point.

Find something you CAN sit on ....

Even if geo and sizing WERE your strong point ... much better buying something you know will feel right than being one of those "nearly new, only 2 rides old" sellers

I'm 5' 10" and was stuck between a medium and large P7. Went medium. No regrets.

I think I'm going medium.

With the stem that comes fitted I think the reach is very close to my FS which feels perfect.

Also I could use a longer dropper if desired.

Think the medium will be better for woodsy singletrack and general hooning around.
