Looking for some help here from the Monkey, about to buy a Scout but it looks like I'm right between a small or medium, i'm pretty sure i would prefer the Medium as the small seems, well, Small. (406 reach) i'm 5'6" on a good day with short legs, longer torso, will the medium with 50mm stem be too long?

Medium Ordered, yaya

35mm deity stem on my Scout. I had a 40mm Profile stem but the 35 feels better for me. 6'4" on an XL.

I'd be more worried about having room to fit a dropper post before ordering a fashionably large(r) bike. sounds like it might be a close call even for a 125mm dropper.

the medium scout has an identical seattube length to the small Pitch it's replacing (419 vs 420), so the dropper isnt an issue. the Pitch had very progressive geo for being essentially a 2008 design, the reach on the small Pitch is only 7mm shorter than the medium Scout, the M Pitch is ~10mm longer than the M Scout in both reach and wheelbase.
