What size bike?
New to mountain bikes. I am 5'9". What size should I be looking at? I see a nice 17" I like.
I have no idea how the sizes run...thanks.

17" should fit fine, 16" or 18" might also work for you too. Just depends on how it feels and what you want to do. I'm 5'8" and I ride 15" and 17"
