One oddity about this bike is that it is the only 19" (MTB-sizing) bike that fit me. I ride a 17.5" Trek which fits me well. Nearly every other model I rode that fit was 17" - 18". But the Fuji 17" was too small, wherein this 19" was a near perfect fit. A 19" MTB is roughly equivalent to a 58 cm in road sizing, which is always way too big for me.
So it goes that you can never rely on the manufacturer's frame size as the be-all and end-all fitting guide.
