I've got an all black '90 Trek 930 with the same bars and its a 16.5". Super nimble and quick. My '88 Rockhopper Comp is 17" and I prefer that size.
Thanks! I'm not huge on perfect aesthetics, but I thought it was a nice touch. It's a 15", I'm pretty compact so that is what works best for me, at least with Rockhoppers. My Marin Bear Valley is 17", and it fits like a glove. Go figure.
The ride is AWESOME. It's responsive and fast, just what I like. I was surprised at it's trudging ability, I was able to just go through the mud/snow/slush without a second thought, no slipping at all. I have to find some less aggressive tread, since the 'Hopper's main job will be commuting.
