NSR MTB's - Which Frame Size...?
OK here's my quandry. I've been offered a really good deal on a Kona Hardtail. Its a 19" Frame, and I'm only 5'9...
Now, I currently ride a 19" Orange P7 which I feel fine with, although I've ridden the same geometry since I was 15 or so, so don't know any different. But I sometimes ride friends smaller bikes and feel a little cramped.
I really want to go for this, but I've got my niggling doubts.
What size do you ride and how tall are you...?

Had a brief test ride on Saturday, and I'm going for another tonight. It felt comfortable enough - was just wondering if missing out by not riding a smaller bike just because I don't know any different...

Im 6'1 and I ride a 19" Kona Hoss Dee-Lux. Its fine for me although I would like a set of slightly higher rising downhill bars. Id say it will be spot on for you

Update:
Went for a test ride on the Kona again last night, and also got some more time in on friends smaller bikes. Picking the Kona up tomorrow morning!!
Shorted stem needed but too good to turn down I think. Ta for the help

6'1 and ride a 19' Schwinn Rocket Stage 3.
As everyone else take test ride, try and have as long as poss so you can get a true feel for the bike. A 10 min ride will not do a thing.
