k so ive decided to get just a regular stinky. the question is which size to get. im 5'10 and debating between a medium or large. now the difference is a half inch in height and length which does make the difference. so ns bikers please help me out.

in my opinion, i would say a medium. im 5'10" as well and i have a kona coiler thats a medium and it fits perfect. i would say go down to your local shop and sit on both sizes and ask them to let you ride it around the parking lot. hopefully that helped a little bit.

what's ur body type/weight/fat percentage?

if u'r around 165 stay with medium, if u'r above 180 hit up large, if u'r fat lose that weight and size down to prepare for that clean cut feelin

It depends on what you like. I'm 5'8" and I ride a Large. The Mediums feel too cramped for me. You have to test both. Remember, the Stinky is a long bike. Mine has a 48" wheelbase. If you have trouble controlling a long bike, lean towards the Medium.
