Gary Fisher Rig - Sizing question

I'm 5'11. I was looking at two identical diamondback hardtail mt bikes a while back. One was 18, the other was 16.5. I felt like the 16.5 was more fit for me, however I wasn't sure if I'd like the size of it on certain trails, so I went with the 18. Best move I ever made.

In short - If it were ME... and I were in between 2 sizes... I'd go 1 up rather than 1 down. Mostly because you can adapt to a frame slightly bigger, whereas you're kind of cramped and stuck with a frame that's slightly smaller.

+1 for that, sounds like you need the 21"

I'm 5'11 and ride a 19" Rig

Definitely get the 21. I'm 5'10" and almost went with the 19. I have a Paragon but pretty much the same frame

6' 1" and i ride a 21"
