Sounds like the OP is like myself and does not want to stretch out over an long top tube. I chose a medium frame 18.5" on the Felt DD70 even though I can also ride the large, added a shorter angled up stem and changed to riser bars that were 680mm instead of the 720mm flat bars that came with the bike. Also moved the saddle forward a little in the seat post. I'm happy with the way it feels now.
