In my experience, extra long seatposts lead to broken frames and bent seatposts over time.

@Criggie, it wasn't extra long. Just long enough that my knees could stay away from the bar.

I think in this case we are far away from such extremes. The size M could actually be the perfect size for OP.

@Criggie see my answer. The only damage came from a race accident at about 30MPH and involved hitting concrete. I don't think any seat post/frame combo would have saved it. :(
