I'm between sizes and sized down for my latest bike. The reach is shorter but because the stack is also taller the span from the BB to the center of the bars is identical. I like the taller front end, and the slightly shorter wheel base makes the bike noticeably more nimble. It's a great bike for the slow speed technical style of riding I prefer. If I spent more time riding high speed trails I would prefer the stability of a larger frame.
