I'm a little shorter than you. Can't speak for all the other brands mentioned, but before virus "isolation", I was looking at a Trek FX 3--the medium was much too small, the large fit just right. The "same" sizes from diff. brands may vary in the way they feel, so if possible, get a test ride. Happy Hunting!
