I you like your Wicked that much, I don't think you'll miss much buying a Yo! By the way, how is that fork doing? Could you post a picture of it mounted? Cheers!

thing is i am in between sizes w/ibis. a small medium fat is exactly my size.
Colker, if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and what is your inseam length? (and no, I am not asking you out of a date). Yo sizing has always been a little funking science to me.
i am 5.9 and inseam is 32in. i"could" ride either a medium or small medium. better size mtbs on the small side.
the yo large diameter seat tube means it's made to be ridden w/ long extensions of seatpost out in the wind.
a 18in wicked has a 22.25 top tube. a small medium yo which is a 16.5 c-t, has a 22.6 top tube. the shorter chainstays and shorter rake fork lead to a shorter wheelbase on the yo. it has a longer reach but it's a smaller bike.
yup, it's a complex sizing situation.
So basically a medium is too long for you?
That sucks because s/m frames are pretty rare as I am sure you have discovered. They only come up a few times a year if at all.

I have 33.3" inseam, and am 5' 10 1/4". Arm and torso length ("corrected", whatever that means) 47.2".
Standover height on a Medium Yo Eddy is 29.75., 28.5 on a S/M. My
stuff says a 18" Wicked has 30" standover while a 16.5" is 29".
I remember I was between M and M/L on the Yo. The system the shop used recommended 30" straddle height.
