Yes my frame is a large. I looked carefully at the bike's dimensions and compared them to my large Specialized Stump Jumper. They were very similar so knew the bike would be a reasonable fit.
I have 34" to 35" inseam so really an XL is probably a better fit for me but resell on XL bikes can be difficult. To make the large fit me nicely i went with a 170mm dropper post and a 65mm head stem. The bike now feels great size wise.
So a medium with your height / inseam with a 65mm head stem should work well. I wouldn't go any longer then 65mm though. At 65mm, steering was still light and responsive.
