There is a 19" rockhopper on CList and I'm 6'7"
Should I even bother looking at it, or will it be too small no matter what my body dimensions are?
I would really enjoy a mountain bike as having a road bike with lots of trail around me sucks.
I really don't want to spend more than $200, which is asking a lot, but this one is $150 for a 2004 Specialized Rockhopper in "great condition".
And if it won't "fit" me, how bad would it be just to deal with a smaller frame?
Also, am I pretty much limited to buying new, or finding another freak on CList selling their old bike since my height?
I'm just curious because I'm really interested in mountain biking, and have rented them before, but, I cannot afford to buy one new.
Thanks to anyone!
