    Sorry mate, you can't size a bike this way. The only way you'll know is by getting on the bike of your choice and seeing what feels best, don't forget the whole geometry of a bike changes when you go up/down a size, it's not just clearance off the top bar, it's reach and pedalling too.

    well the Yeti website suggests you are well outside the recommended height for the short (173cm) so you might be opening yourself up to a world of hurt buying that (both physically and financially). Agree with Wacky though - got to try them both - neither might be right for you!
