Ok Sin... did I not answer this for you in another thread?

My bad, I just check and I answered it for a different roadie I, my self, also ride a 61cm roadie but mtb's are a totally different breed.

Here is what I said to the other guy (with some modifacation), "I am 6'2" with a 34 1/4" inseam and 20" would be the largest size I would get and that would be pushing the limit and if I were only going to be on fire trails or well groomed trails. If you will be riding technical trails I would say look into getting an 18" or 19" frame if it will be for XC and a 17" frame if the trails are VERY technical. You need to remember, you do not size a mountain bike like a road bike. They are two totally different animals "
