In my opinion, no problem. Some riders like a bike that is one frame size smaller than "recommended". It's easier to throw the bike around on technical trails. Then again, I'm biased because I'm 5'9" and ride a small, 15.5" Stumpy hardtail and a small size Stumpy dual sus, not the "recommended" medium, 17/18 inch frames.
