I bought a Merida Reacto 5000 recently, and was recommended a size 50. However there's barely standover clearance and noticeably the seatpost is very very short. The next drop however would be a size 47. Yes, I am kinda leaning towards the 47 for more seat to bar drop..
Do I fit a 47 or 50? Confused.

Options:
1) Drop handlebars, remove all spacers
2) Get shorter crankarms
3) Change to 47
