Sorry mate….but the best recommendation is find a test ride at local shop.  Given it’s a Cannondale – it should not be too hard to find.  We’re not talking about some of the newer consumer online direct brands.

I can say prior to buying my new bike, I measured my old bike best I can including effective top tube and stem and inseams.  Thought I ended up with Small as my old bike had 580mm top tube.  But after test riding a few bikes I ended up with Medium with 600mm eff. Top Tube and 5mm shorter stem.  Must have something to do with new geometry.

Inseam will depend brand to brand and how much dropper insertion length the frame and dropper collar provides.   Best to ask Cannondale what the fully inserted lengths are, which also vary from based on dropper size even with the same dropper brand/model.

^^^ This.  I don’t think people are bad inherently.  But if by their own choice they say it’s their problem but upon consequence they decide to make it someone/everyone else problem that is the ultimate problem with libertarian thinking.  And even is said bucket-less rider crashes and requires $$$ in medical bills – who pays for it?  Doesn’t matter if health insurance is government or privately funded – but other users will end up paying it.
